Preserving African American Communities And Landmarks
September 23, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Without a thorough reckoning with our country’s complex and challenging history, especially when it comes to race, we will not be able to overcome intolerance, injustice, and inequality. That is why, in November 2017, the National Trust for Historic Preservation launched its African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund, a $25 million campaign to reconstruct a true national identity that reflects America’s diversity. Preserving this tapestry of America’s shared culture, pride and heritage is an act of racial justice and should be viewed as a civil right.
This event is part of the Center for Humanities and the Public Sphere’s multi-year speaker series “Rethinking the Public Sphere,” which responds to current challenges to rational public debate. For more information about the series, visit this link.
