Cornyn Legislation Honoring Historical Texas School Passes Out of Committee
Statement
Issues: Education
Today, the Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee passed the Blackwell School National Historic Site Act authored by U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) which would establish the Blackwell School in Marfa, Texas as a National Historic site and become a part of the National Park System.
"Preserving historical sites is crucial for future generations to understand and apply the important lessons learned as they shape the next chapter of American history," said Sen. Cornyn. "The Blackwell School in the Big Bend Region of Texas will continue to serve as a symbol of the progress that has been made and what work remains."
