Park Bench Chat: Preserving Black history for a more equitable future
Join us for a Park Bench Chat about the growing movement to preserve and lift up a more accurate, equitable public memory of America. We’ll be in conversation with Keith Weaver, Trust for Public Land board member and executive vice president of Global Policy and External Affairs for Sony Pictures Entertainment; and Brent Leggs, executive director of the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund and author of Preserving African American Historic Places. They will share insights about places that tell the story of Black life in America, highlighting centuries of activism, achievement, creativity, and community. And we’ll discuss how equity in historic preservation revitalizes communities, enriches our culture, and helps shape a more just and prosperous future for all.
When: Tuesday, February 23, 1:00 p.m. PST/4:00 p.m. EST
