Synopsis

Brown v. Board of Education National Historical Park seeks a program partner to assist the park in achieving its legislative purpose, i.e., "(1) to preserve, protect, and interpret for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations, the places that contributed materially to the landmark United States Supreme Court decision that brought an end to segregation in public education; and (2) to interpret the integral role of the Brown v. Board of Education case in the civil rights movement; and (3) to assist in the preservation, protection, and interpretation of related resources within Topeka, Kansas, Summerton, South Carolina, Farmville, Virginia, Wilmington, Claymont, and Hockessin, Delaware and the District of Columbia that further the understanding of the civil rights movement and the context of Brown v. Board of Education." (PL 102-525 and PL 117-123)The partner will assist the park in planning events in the five communities listed in PL 117-123. The events will include, but are not necessarily limited to, annual anniversary events in May, leading up to the seventy-fifth anniversary commemoration in 2029.The partner will provide logistical support, such as payment of honoraria, travel costs, and other program expenses, related to events and programs arranged as part of this agreement.

The partner will collaborate with NPS staff and community organizations in Kansas to enhance interpretation and educational outreach and to promote the park’s efforts to strengthen its ties to heritage tourism and educational organizations in the five Brown communities.
