America’s parks, public lands, and historic sites do more than protect special places—they help tell our nation’s story.
But preserving that history requires ongoing commitment. We’ve seen increasing pressure to remove or downplay stories on our public lands related to civil rights, Indigenous history, immigration, slavery, LGBTQ+ rights, and other defining periods of American history.
Right now, decisions being made in Washington could determine how these stories are told—or whether they’re told at all.
Americans overwhelmingly support protecting these places.
In fact, 88 percent believe it’s important to preserve historic and cultural landmarks that tell the full American story—including the difficult chapters.
