Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton today announced the designation of 15 new National Historic Landmarks.
The new landmarks include sites associated with the struggle to desegregate schools in the nation's capital and Virginia, including the John Phillip Sousa Junior High School, in Washington, D.C., and the New Kent School and George W. Watkins School outside of Richmond in New Kent County, Virginia. The new NHLs also include the Samuel Wadsworth Russell House, considered to be the premier domestic example of the Corinthian Greek Revival style in the Northeast; the Modesty, a classic Long Island Sound shellfish dredging sloop; and the Randolph Field Historic District in Texas, which played an exceptional role in the development of the air component of the U.S. Army, and eventually achieved its independence as the U.S. Air Force in September 1947.
