African American History Act
This bill authorizes the National Museum of African American History and Culture to develop educational resources and programs about African American history, including digital tools, teacher training, and museum collections. It directs the museum's director to use $2 million annually (2024-2028) to create accessible materials for schools, educators, and the public, focusing on historical contributions and civil rights movements. The program requires annual reports to Congress on fund usage and includes provisions for translating materials, expanding exhibitions, and supporting school curriculum adoption. It directly affects the museum, K-12 schools, and educators through funded resources, while ending funding authorization after 2028.
