Diversity and Inclusion in Florida Historic Preservation (PastForward 2022)
Channel: National Trust for Historic Preservation
Date: 2023-05-02

From PastForward 2022 (https://savingplaces.org/conference):
The panel addresses diversity in Florida preservation efforts from two perspectives: that of those people and histories traditionally excluded from the formal preservation practice and diversity in how we conceive of preservation as a practice. Hear about a variety of histories including Gullah Geechee, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ heritage, by speakers who will provide examples of equitable preservation at work in local government and communities across the state. Speakers will share efforts to bring attention to underrepresented histories in traditional and creative ways, and how to incorporate these efforts into local government, communities, and online. Sponsored by the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund.
