Summary of Bill S 2207
Bill 110 S 2207, also known as the Green McAdoo School National Historic Site Study Act of 2008, was introduced in the 110th Congress on September 25, 2008 by Senator Lamar Alexander. The purpose of this bill was to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a special resource study of the Green McAdoo School in Clinton, Tennessee to determine the feasibility of designating it as a National Historic Site.
The Green McAdoo School was a historically significant African American school that played a key role in the desegregation of public schools in the southern United States. The school was the first in the South to be desegregated under court order in 1956, and its students were pioneers in the civil rights movement.
The bill called for the Secretary of the Interior to evaluate the national significance of the Green McAdoo School, assess the suitability and feasibility of designating it as a National Historic Site, and consider the potential management options for the site. The study would also involve consultation with state and local governments, as well as other stakeholders, to gather input on the future preservation and interpretation of the site. Overall, the Green McAdoo School National Historic Site Study Act of 2008 aimed to recognize and preserve the important history of the Green McAdoo School and its role in the civil rights movement. By conducting a special resource study, the bill sought to determine the best way to honor and commemorate the legacy of the school and its students for future generations.
