STATEMENT ON CONFEDERATE MONUMENTS
We believe it is past time for us, as a nation, to acknowledge that these
symbols do not reflect, and are in fact abhorrent to, our values and to our
foundational obligation to continue building a more perfect union that embodies
equality and justice for all.

Nicodemus, Kansas, sits many miles from anywhere, yet it’s at the heart of the
American story. The barely there community on the High Plains has all of 18
residents, according to the United States Census Bureau. It contains a limestone
township hall, a Baptist church, a scattered handful of homes—and incredible
history.

UNDER WATER: THE NATIONAL MALL’S TIDAL BASIN FACES A RISING THREAT
As Teresa Durkin walks around Washington, D.C.’s iconic Tidal Basin, she is
frustrated by what she sees. Sections of the stone seawall have separated from
the concrete walkway and lean precariously over the water’s edge. The sidewalk
itself is nothing but mud. And at high tide, when the Potomac River fills the
basin with millions of gallons of water, this area is completely submerged.

Our nation’s past is filled with stories of triumph in the face of adversity and
heroes arising from difficult circumstances. We know them, in large part, thanks
to the work of historic preservation. To keep preservation moving forward in
2020, we are urgently raising $30,000 by June 30—and $1 of every $2 you give
will be matched by our partners at the Robert W. Wilson Charitable Trust. Join
us as we preserve the legacy of courage and strength embodied in America’s
historic places.
