Kalaupapa NHP
Kalaupapa National Historical Park is located on the island of Molokaʻi in Hawaiʻi. The park is home to a variety of historic sites, including the Kalaupapa Leper Colony and the Kalawao County Jail. The National Historic Park is a sobering reminder of the efforts taken by the government to control leprosy, or Hansen's disease. In the late 1800s, patients with severe symptoms were forcibly relocated to the isolated peninsula, cut off from the rest of society. The goal was to prevent the spread of the disease, but it also had the effect of ostracizing those who were suffering. Between 1866 and 1969, approximately 8,000 people were banished to Kalaupapa. Today, there are only a handful of Hansen's Disease patients remaining in Kalaupapa and they have chosen to remain in isolation. The National Historic Park was established in 1980 to preserve the historic culture and landscapes of Kalaupapa. Visitors can explore the sites through a variety of ranger-led tours and activities. The park also offers a variety of educational programs and events.

Manzanar
Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of ten National Historic Sites where the US government incarcerated Japanese immigrants and Japanese American citizens during World War II. Located in Inyo County, California, Manzanar operated from March 1942 to November 1945, when over 11,000 detainees were held at the site. The center was located in a remote area, and detainees were subject to military-style discipline. The experience of detention was especially difficult for families, who were often separated from one another. Despite the challenges, many detainees made the best of their situation, forming close bonds with one another and working to create a sense of community. Today, Manzanar is a National Historic Landmark and a reminder of the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.

Judiciary Park
Judiciary Square in Washington, D.C., envisioned by Pierre L’Enfant in 1791, has long been a central legal and governmental hub. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the area houses the Historic Courthouse, completed in 1820, where President Lincoln signed the DC Emancipation Act in 1862, marking a significant moment in American civil rights history. Judiciary Park, which runs along Fourth Street, NW, in the southeast corner of the Historic Courthouse property, features a fountain, trees, grass, and curving brick paths. The Darlington Memorial Fountain, which includes two bronze statutes on top of the fountain, was installed in 1923, and is one of many contributing properties to the Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site. The park was refurbished and reopened on April 16, 2010, coinciding with DC Emancipation Day. The park commemorates Lincoln's legacy and offers a tranquil urban oasis for the community.
