Nick Rahall: “H.R. 4191, introduced by our colleague Representative Michael Turner…”

On the recordMarch 4, 2008

H.R. 4191, introduced by our colleague Representative Michael Turner of Ohio, would change the Name of Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park in Ohio to the Wright Brothers-Dunbar National Historical Park. The bill also sets conditions under which the Secretary of Interior may make grants to the park's partners. A contemporary of the Wright brothers in Dayton was poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. The house that Dunbar purchased for his mother is part of Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park. The Wright brothers and Paul Laurence Dunbar are each featured prominently at this park, and this redesignation of the park as the Wright Brothers-Dunbar National Historical Park will provide equal weight to both of these important stories. I support passage of H.R. 4191 and urge its adoption.
