DAG will be joined by Randall Mason to discuss the Center for the Preservation of Civil Rights Sites efforts to protect black heritage sites. The center was spurred by a partnership between Randy Mason and Kwesi Daniels of Tuskegee University, the Center collaborates with preservationists, stewardship organizations, advocates, and scholars. “Our work is about visibility and enhancing the presence of these stories in the world,” says Mason, “When this opportunity presented itself, it was sensible to bring together people doing similar things and build a place to work together.”
Randall Mason is faculty director and professor in Penn's Graduate Program in Historic Preservation at its Center for the Preservation of Civil Rights Sites. The Center is working towards protecting places that celebrate, commemorate, and raise awareness of American civil rights and Black history. Currently celebrating its first year, the Center’s focus on teaching, research, and field projects will enable it to continue its essential work of amplifying and preserving the legacy of civil rights in the U.S.
