Stories often outlast the spaces in which they were created, but both shape how history is told and whose truths are protected. When the environment is compromised, so is the memory, meaning, and cultural truth embedded in that place.

On Thursday, May 29, we’re hosting a conversation about Cultural Sustainability: Protecting the Assets and Narrative of Our Multiracial Democracy through Preservation. This session explores how preservation can be a tool for justice, connection, and collective future-making. We’ll dig into how cultural sustainability protects community memory—and what that looks like in practice across fields.

Panelists include:

• Carlton Eley, Senior Director for Federal Strategies at Race Forward
• Michael Allen, Retired Community Partnerships Specialist, National Park Service
• Nakita Reed, Senior Associate, Quinn Evans
• Jimmie Tucker, Managing Principal, Self + Tucker Architects
• Jeffrey (Free) Harris, Historic Preservation Consultant
