African American History Act of 2026
To authorize the Director of the National Museum of African American History and Culture to support African American history education programs, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB7740, aims to empower the Director of the National Museum of African American History and Culture to fund and support programs that educate people about African American history. If passed, it would enable the museum to play a more active role in enhancing history education across the nation.
