Powerful Places

The National Park Service (NPS) helps to preserve and protect powerful places — the physical memory of our nation's civil rights history. Some of these places have been established as units of the National Park System. Others have been listed in the National Register of Historic Places or designated as National Historic Landmarks. Still others are supported by various NPS Heritage Preservation programs.

Visiting these places - virtually or in person - allows us to form own connections to the history and stories of civil rights in America.
