The Freedom Riders National Monument has released its Master Plan and Environmental Assessment for the Bus Burning Site, located six miles west of Anniston, Alabama, along Old Birmingham Highway. The National Park Service is inviting the public to review the documents and provide their input. The Master Plan and Environmental Assessment can be found on the National Park Service’s website.
This Master Plan aims to manage and protect the historic Bus Burning Site, which holds significant importance in the Civil Rights Movement. The Environmental Assessment, on the other hand, evaluates the potential effects of the proposed plan on the environment and local community. Both documents are crucial for the preservation and management of the site.
Public participation is encouraged in this process, as the National Park Service values the insights and perspectives of the community. The public’s views and comments will play an essential role in shaping the final Master Plan and Environmental Assessment. The National Park Service is committed to maintaining transparency and fostering community involvement in its decision-making process.
