Join the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund team for the 17th annual African American Preservation Meeting about the work of creating an equitable preservation movement and inclusive national identity.
In honor of the National Trust's 75th anniversary, we will also host a fireside chat with civil rights and industry leaders Dr. Leona Tate, Dr. Marvel Parker and Ms. Marita Rivero to draw lessons and wisdom from their careers.
Connect with fellow preservation practitioners, volunteers, and allies in a town hall-style meeting to network, share resources, and discuss these emerging issues.
