National Register of Historic Places and African American Sites

Wednesday, June 8th – 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

Ohio has hundreds of important historic sites related to under represented communities: Ohio Green Book properties and other Civil Rights related properties from the 19th and 20th century. This webinar will provide the background and knowledge to encourage more conversations in the field of preservation in relation to underserved communities. Diamond will also touch on two specific projects King Records and the Harriet Beecher Stowe House.

We will discuss the National Register of Historic places and illuminating the importance of underrepresented communities in preservation. This webinar also examines The National Park Service Underrepresented Communities Grant.
