Through the lens of our nation’s iconic places, the NPS has a responsibility to advance understanding of our nation’s unique & complex history. We invite you to watch “Twenty & Odd,” which explores the trauma, resilience, and beauty of the African American experience. #Juneteenth

.@realDonaldTrump took bold action & provided unprecedented support for Congress to fix the aging infrastructure @NatlParkService and to permanently fund conservation projects. It’s now time for the House to move this commonsense solution forward.

Recognized as America’s best idea, we’ve loved our @NatlParkService for over a century. With more than 315 million visitors last year, our infrastructure is in need of critical repairs. @realDonaldTrump has called on Congress to act!
