SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Emancipation National Historic Trail 
Study Act''.

SEC. 2. EMANCIPATION NATIONAL HISTORIC TRAIL STUDY.

    Section 5(c) of the National Trails System Act (16 U.S.C. 1244(c)) 
is amended by adding at the end the following:
            ``(47) Emancipation national historic trail.--The 
        Emancipation National Historic Trail, extending approximately 
        51 miles from the Osterman Building and Reedy Chapel in 
        Galveston, Texas, along Texas State Highway 3 and Interstate 
        Highway 45 North, to Freedmen's Town, then to Independence 
        Heights and Emancipation Park in Houston, Texas, following the 
        migration route taken by newly freed slaves and other persons 
        of African descent from the major 19th century seaport town of 
        Galveston to the burgeoning community of Freedmen's Town, 
        located in the 4th Ward of Houston, Texas.''.
            Amend the title so as to read: ``A bill to amend the 
        National Trails System Act to provide for the study of the 
        Emancipation National Historic Trail, and for other 
        purposes.''.
