Understanding Civil Rights Heritage

The Center for the Preservation of Civil Rights Sites presents a virtual discussion with leaders of the field: Brent Leggs, executive director of the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund; Amy Freitag, executive director of The J.M. Kaplan Fund; and Kwesi Daniels, department head and assistant professor at the Taylor School of Architecture and Construction Science at Tuskegee University. The discussion will be moderated by Randall Mason, faculty director of the Center for the Preservation of Civil Rights Sites.

The current moment of reckoning and reflection on race and heritage presents an opportunity. As the Center embarks on a program of research, teaching, fieldwork and convening, these preservation leaders draw on their experience to explore the urgent work ahead. Panelists will describe their work and engage in a roundtable discussion of the needs, priorities, and opportunities for the Center.
