We can learn so much about #SocialJustice in America through historical landmarks. As a proud co-chair of the #AACHAF, a program of @SavingPlaces, I shared more about Black heritage landmarks and their educational potential at the 2023 Cultural Preservation Leadership Summit.
As a proud co-chair of the #AACHAF, a program of @SavingPlaces, I commend the historic designation of the Emmett Till and Mamie Till Mobley National Monument, so that future generations can learn about the pursuit of social justice in America through this Black heritage landmark.
Without a thorough reckoning with the complex and difficult history of our country, especially when it comes to race, we will not be able to overcome intolerance, injustice, and inequality. Learn more about how the #AACHAF is broadening the American narrative. @SavingPlaces
