National Museum of the Blind People’s Movement Act

This bill designates the Museum of the Blind People’s Movement in Baltimore, Maryland (operated by the National Federation of the Blind), as the National Museum of the Blind People’s Movement. It officially recognizes this existing museum - the first owned and operated by blind Americans - as a national institution highlighting the history, struggles, and contributions of blind individuals and the disability rights movement. The museum preserves artifacts, documents, and literature documenting the blind-led movement since 1940, including the National Federation of the Blind’s role in advancing accessibility and civil rights. The bill does not create new programs but formally elevates this existing collection and its mission to educate the public about blind Americans’ societal contributions.
