Little Rock Central High School Desegregation 50th Anniversary Commemorative Coin Act

This bill authorizes the U.S. Mint to produce up to 500,000 silver one-dollar coins in 2007 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the desegregation of Little Rock Central High School. These limited-edition coins are designed to recognize the historic bravery of the "Little Rock Nine" and the school's significant role in the American Civil Rights Movement.

For citizens, the bill creates a collectible piece of history while generating private funding for historic preservation. Each coin sold includes a $10 surcharge, with the proceeds divided between the Jefferson National Parks Association and the Secretary of the Interior to fund educational programs, site improvements, and restoration projects at the Little Rock Central High National Historic Site in Arkansas.
