The U.S. Department of the Interior's National Park Service has awarded The Lincolnite Club, a minority-owned and Black American-owned non-profit organization, a $825,000 Project Grant under the Historic Preservation Fund Grants-In-Aid program (CFDA 15.904). This grant, effective June 1, 2024, will fund phase III of the rehabilitation of the historic Lincoln Normal School gymnasium in Marion, Alabama, a National Register-listed site associated with African American civil rights history. The project includes architectural services, historic structure reports, preservation plans, and physical preservation work to the structure. This award builds upon previous grants in 2021 and 2019 that supported earlier phases of the gymnasium's restoration, demonstrating The Lincolnite Club's ongoing commitment to documenting, interpreting, and preserving significant historic properties related to the African American struggle for equal rights.
