OUR NATION IS IN THE MIDST of a critical conversation about the ways our collective past is represented in our culture and public spaces. This creates both a unique opportunity and a compelling responsibility for our country. To make an important and lasting contribution to our cultural landscape, the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund Advisory Council invites you to join us for a Cultural Preservation Leadership Summit. This two-day event brings together a “think tank” of visionary and creative leaders to create transformational change and catalyze social action. It will help to set the direction for the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund, a multi-year initiative led by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, in partnership with the Ford Foundation, The JPB Foundation, and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to elevate the voices, stories, and places of African American achievement, activism, and community.
