The Department of the Interior National Park Service awarded a $1,227,260 Historic Preservation Fund Grants-In-Aid (CFDA 15.904) Project Grant to the Lincoln High School Preservation Alumni Association, Inc., a minority and Black American owned non-profit organization, for the preservation and rehabilitation of the Lincoln High School in Sumter, South Carolina. The grant funds will support hazardous material abatement, preservation of interior features, and rehabilitation of the first-floor wing of the historic school building, which played a significant role in the African American civil rights movement. This effort builds upon a $570,000 grant the Association received in 2021 for the Lincoln High School Civil Rights Preservation Project, which involved additional preservation activities to maintain the school's cultural heritage value. The Association has also collaborated with the South Carolina Department of Archives & History through a sub-grant to repair the building's roof as part of the broader rehabilitation efforts.
