Dear John,

Join us on Wednesday, February 16, at noon (PST) / 3:00 p.m. (EST) for
our next Park Bench Chat, where we'll explore how protecting and
interpreting lands and spaces can help us honor and illuminate Black
American history and culture.

REGISTER NOW!

Panelists:

*
Clayborne Carson, PhD, Martin Luther King Jr. Centennial Professor
Emeritus and Senior Fellow
Stanford's Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law
Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, Stanford
University

*
Angela Bates, Executive Director of the Nicodemus Historical Society

*
Naomi Davis, Founder and CEO of Blacks in Green

More details:

Consider this: sites that recognize the experience of Black Americans
represent just two percent of those listed in the National Register of
Historic Places. The Trust for Public Land recognizes this disparity.
For decades we have worked with communities to preserve such valuable
places. 

 

This discussion will be moderated by Trust for Public Land Senior Vice
President Malcolm Carson and will explore spaces The Trust for Public
Land, alongside partners, is helping to preserve. Such sites include:

*
Meadowood, a Connecticut farm where a young Martin Luther King Jr.
spent summers working

to help pay his tuition at Morehouse College

*
Nicodemus National Historic Site in Kansas, the oldest remaining
historic Black settlement west of the Mississippi River

*
Emmett Till's childhood home in Chicago, which will soon be the
focal point of a sustainable "walkable village" with shared
greenspaces that pay homage to Chicago luminaries from the Great
Migration

 

These often-overlooked historical and cultural sites hold the
unrealized potential to enrich all of our communities and provide
Americans with a deeper understanding of the complete story of
America's history. 

 

When: Wednesday, February 16, at noon (PST) / 3:00 p.m. (EST) 

 

Space is limited so I hope you'll register today!
