H.R. 4895: Medgar Evers Home National Monument Act

115th Congress

To establish the Medgar Evers National Monument in the State of Mississippi, and for other purposes.

Sponsor: Rep. Bennie Thompson — D — MS

H.R. 4895 would establish the Medgar Evers Home National Monument in Jackson, Mississippi. Under the bill, the site would become a unit of the National Park System and would be owned and operated by the National Park Service (NPS). The bill would direct the NPS to acquire the Medgar Evers home by means of donation from Tougaloo College. Based on the expected date of that donation and the experience of other system units, CBO expects the monument would not be formally established for several years.
