U.S. Secretary of Interior Ryan Zinke has added the historic home of attorney A.P. Tureaud Sr. to the African American Civil Rights Network on Oct. 29. The designation marks the second time in a week the Trump administration has publicly recognized the African-American experience.

“This home represents the sacrifice of a man who dedicated his life work to the betterment and unity of a nation, and may it serve as a place of reflection on the past and education to the future,” Zinke said in a press release.
