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.
The bill would mainly affect educators, students, and anyone interested in learning more about African American history. By providing resources and support to educational programs, it could make learning about this important subject more accessible and comprehensive.
HB7740 was introduced on February 26, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on House Administration. This is the first step in the legislative process, where the bill will be reviewed and possibly moved forward for further consideration.
