From Preservation Action:

This week the Department of Interior announced that the National Park Service is preparing to potentially nominate 11 sites associated with the U.S Civil Rights Movement for inclusion on the World Heritage List. The sites considered for nomination include sites associated with the Freedom Riders, Brown v. Board of Education, Martin Luther King Jr., sites pivotal to the Civil Rights Movement in Birmingham, among others. Nine of the sites are currently operated by the National Park Service.

1. Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, Montgomery, AL
2. Bethel Baptist Church, Birmingham, AL
3. 16th Street Baptist Church, Birmingham, AL
4. Edmund Pettus Bridge, Selma, AL
5. Greyhound Bus Terminal, Anniston, AL
6. Little Rock Central High School, Little Rock, AR
7. Ebenezer Baptist Church (Heritage Sanctuary), Atlanta, GA
8. Monroe Elementary School, Topeka, KS
9. Medgar and Myrlie Evers Home, Jackson, MS
10. Robert Russa Moton High School/Museum, Farmville, VA  
11. Lincoln Memorial and Grounds, Washington, DC

The Department of Interior will work worth partners and consult with the Federal Interagency Panel for World Heritage before finalizing the nomination. The United States is also currently preparing the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge nomination in Georgia for possible inscription to the World Heritage List. 

The ultimate decision on inclusion of the 11 Civil Rights Movement sites and Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge will be decided by the World Heritage Convention. If inscribed, the sites would become the United States' 26th and 27th World Heritage Sites, joining cultural and natural sites of universal importance around the globe. Most recently, the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks in Ohio was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in September of last year.
