Have you heard? 🎉 Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior, Deb Haaland announced on Tuesday, December 17 the designations of 19 new #NationalHistoricalLandmarks. We’re spotlighting 3 standout sites that showcase America’s diverse heritage: Summit Camp 📌 California The largest Chinese railroad worker camp from the Transcontinental Railroad era (1865-1869), highlighting the crucial contributions of Chinese immigrants in building America. Charleston Cigar Factory 📌 South Carolina Site of a pivotal 1945-1946 strike led by African American women workers, showcasing the intersection of labor rights and civil rights activism. Loudoun County Courthouse 📌 Virginia Location of the pivotal 1933-1934  Crawford trial that transformed civil rights law. The case led to Charles Hamilton Houston becoming the NAACP's first special counsel, launching their strategic legal campaign to end segregation. These designations help tell a more complete story of American history, and reflect Secretary Haaland’s commitment to preserving sites of struggle, triumph, and cultural significance for future generations.

HISTORY IS MADE! 🏛✨ President Biden has designated the Frances Perkins National Monument, honoring FDR's Secretary of Labor and the first female Cabinet member. Perkins was the architect behind Social Security, minimum wage, and many worker protections we still rely on today. Since 1906, presidents have used the Antiquities Act to protect places that tell America's story - from the Grand Canyon to civil rights landmarks. Because when we preserve these places, we keep their stories and impact alive. This is Biden's 13th monument designation. Along with this announcement, five new National Historic Landmarks were named, including sites significant to women's labor rights, Black history, and LGBTQ+ history. Thank you, President Biden and U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary Haaland 🙏. By protecting these places, we ensure future generations can connect with the people and moments that made America what it is today. Learn more at: www.whitehouse.gov
