H. R. 4200—235
the roles of women and African Americans during World War
I, and evidence of other relevant subjects.
(10) The Liberty Memorial Museum seeks to educate a
diverse group of audiences through its comprehensive collection
of historical materials, emphasizing eyewitness accounts of the
participants on the battlefield and the home front and the
impact of World War I on individuals, then and now. The
Liberty Memorial Museum continues to actively acquire and
preserve such materials.
(11) A great opportunity exists to use the invaluable
resources of the Liberty Memorial Museum to teach the ‘‘Les-
sons of Liberty’’ to schoolchildren in the United States through
on-site visits, classroom curriculum development, distance-
learning activities, and other educational initiatives.
(12) The Liberty Memorial Museum should remain the
foremost museum in the United States regarding the national
experience in the World War I years, which people can visit
to learn about World War I and where the history of this
monumental struggle will be preserved so that current and
future generations may understand the role played by the
United States in the preservation and advancement of democ-
racy, freedom, and liberty in the early 20th century.
(13) The work of the Liberty Memorial Museum to recognize
and preserve the history of the Nation’s sacrifices in World
War I will take on added significance as the centennial observ-
ance of the war approaches.
(14) It is fitting and proper to refer to the Liberty Memorial
Museum as ‘‘America’s National World War I Museum’’.
(b) CONGRESSIONAL RECOGNITION.—Congress—
(1) recognizes the Liberty Memorial Museum in Kansas
City, Missouri, including the museum’s future and expanded
exhibits, collections, library, archives, and educational pro-
grams, as ‘‘America’s National World War I Museum’’;
(2) recognizes that the continuing collection, preservation,
and interpretation of the historical objects and other historical
materials held by the Liberty Memorial Museum will enhance
the knowledge and understanding of the experiences of the
United States and its allies in the World War I years (1914–
1918), both on the battlefield and on the home front;
(3) commends the ongoing development and visibility of
the ‘‘Lessons of Liberty’’ educational outreach programs pre-
pared by the Liberty Memorial Museum for teachers and stu-
dents throughout the United States; and
(4) encourages present generations of Americans to under-
stand the magnitude of World War I, how it shaped the United
States, other countries, and later world events, and how the
sacrifices made by Americans then helped preserve liberty,
democracy, and other founding principles of the United States
for generations to come.
