LITTLE ROCK-Two U.S. representatives are praising federal legislation that expands the boundaries of the Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that Reps. French Hill and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy visited the site on Sunday. Little Rock Central High played a significant role in the country's public school desegregation.
President Donald Trump signed legislation in January adding seven houses near the school to the historic site boundaries. The legislation also allows the Interior Department's secretary to reach "cooperative agreements" with the homeowners to preserve the site.
