Abstract: As preservation professionals, we know that stabilizing foundations, retrofitting historic properties with sustainable upgrades, and conducting paint analyses are important parts of the process, but typically happen only after the hard work is done to protect historic places through advocacy and identifying funding sources to transform buildings from derelict eyesores into thriving community hubs. Presentations at the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s fall 2023 convenings—PastForward, the National Preservation Law Conference, and the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund Leadership Summit—addressed these issues while also illuminating the intersections of heritage, identity, and social justice.In ...

Abstract: Megan, it’s very rare that anyone in the realm of queer history or archeology wakes up and says, “I want to be a queer historian one day,” especially if they grow up in central Texas or other parts of this country. So, I always like to ask whoever I’m speaking with: What is your origin story' How did you begin the quest to uncover and specifically to map' I think that’s something that we both have done in our research, asking “how do we overlay queer history over the maps, the spaces, and the stories that are generally told without us'” And I’m curious how that journey began for you.I did not start my career thinking that I was going to do LGBTQ history. I came out in 1987, and the options in a small town when I ... Read More PubDate: 2024-08-05T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: We want to get started with a question: What does preservation mean to you' And specifically, what are we preserving and for whose benefit'For me, preservation means saving existing buildings for future reference and repurposing them and recycling—not tearing down—but saving as much as you can and incorporating into new purposes.For me, preservation is preserving the history in spite of development. It’s not just the buildings, because the buildings are just the physical embodiment of the history that our country, that our shared memory conveys. It’s great to have a continued use for historic buildings, and that’s what tax credits and things like that are for, but preservation is making sure that the full story ...

Abstract: Good morning. I was introduced to Adam Pendleton back in 2017, when we had a meeting in his Brooklyn studio.I was inspired by our conversation and inspired by his vision, the singular vision that Nina Simone deserves a physical place where her legacy will endure. Share with the audience your vision for the Nina Simone Childhood Home in Tryon, North Carolina.Nina Simone.PHOTO COURTESY NINASIMONEPROJECTExterior after rehab.PHOTO BY NANCY PIERCE/NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATIONWell, Brent, I have to go backwards a little bit, because I think the vision, so to speak, started with the idea of a gesture. The gesture was simply to acquire this property that I knew could end up in the wrong hands and could be ... Read More PubDate: 2024-08-05T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Good afternoon, everyone.My name is Henry Louis Gates Jr. It gives me an enormous amount of pleasure to introduce and host this panel on the important role that institutions and stewardship play in our national life, and in particular how Black churches historically have been the bedrock of the African American experience from the time of the American Revolution to today. Let me begin by congratulating the National Trust’s African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund on its six years of national leadership and the dramatic impact that it has made in so many communities across the country. Give it up to Brent Leggs of the Action Fund that its mission is so very important at this moment in our history. Also give it ... Read More PubDate: 2024-08-05T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Good afternoon, everybody.It is so wonderful to be with you today. I’m Elizabeth Alexander, president of the Mellon Foundation, and it’s my pleasure to welcome you to this conversation on monuments and justice. Throughout the United States and indeed all over the world, monuments and memorials shape our understanding of our collective histories and identities. They instruct, they venerate, they celebrate experiences and perspectives that make up the American story. At a time when challenges to our freedom to read and to learn in American libraries and in classrooms are on the rise more than ever, I believe we need monuments that teach and tell the truth about who we are. Because of the space that they hold in our ... Read More PubDate: 2024-08-05T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: I’m here today as chair of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. For those of you who are not familiar, it’s the independent federal body that advises the president and Congress as well as state and local governments on historic preservation policy. We also promulgate and administer the regulations related to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.The Advisory Council is pleased to join the National Trust for Historic Preservation in convening a variety of experts to discuss preservation laws. Among those are what I would like to call “first order” preservation laws, like the Antiquities Act, that were formulated at the very beginning of the preservation movement. They also include state ... Read More PubDate: 2024-08-05T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: I was invited to spend a little time this afternoon giving my perspective on the future of preservation law. And, like any good preservationist, I’m going to start my look-forward by looking back.I graduated from college in the mid-1970s, in the middle of what has been called the “Environmental Decade.” In 1970, NEPA [the National Environmental Policy Act] was enacted, the EPA was created, and the Clean Air Act was given real teeth. Significant federal dollars supported clean water projects, particularly for sewer lines and sewage treatment plants across the country.Parallel to the environmental field, the 1970s were also a very positive decade for the field of historic preservation. Although federal preservation ... Read More PubDate: 2024-08-05T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Good morning everyone. Today we’re going to talk about what an heirs’ property is. We’re going to look at it from a legal perspective and then discuss how we go about addressing the challenges and the reasons why we should address the challenges. I’ll also share with you some initiatives that are occurring that might be of interest to you and how they relate to heirs’ property. I will disclose that I’m not very familiar with preservation law, but I am interested in a conversation about the intersections with your work.I like to start off with a conversation about the history of ownership of real estate in our country. Most Americans were not able to own real estate in our country until after slavery ended. When ... Read More PubDate: 2024-08-05T00:00:00-05:00
