Register today for the July 25 webinar, Monuments & Justice: Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument hosted by the National Trust's African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund.
The work to permanently protect, preserve, manage, and interpret Chicago’s Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ and Mississippi’s Graball Landing and Tallahatchie Courthouse as part of the new Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument has profound meaning. Each heritage asset tells stories of racial violence, human worth, dignity, fairness under the law, grief, tragedy, and women-led activism.
In a conversation led by renowned poet, scholar, and President of the Mellon Foundation, Dr. Elizabeth Alexander, we will explore the architecture of monument-making, the need for ethnic and cultural representation, and the role of historic preservation in fostering healing from racial trauma.
This webinar is part of the Action Fund's Conversation Series, which will rebroadcast critical dialogues from our Cultural Preservation Leadership Summit held at the Ford Foundation's Center for Social Justice in New York City.
Forum Webinars are currently free and open to the public.

1wThis is too complacent. We need to tighten up the law itself. The landscape around judicial review of regulations just changed dramatically. We lost Waters of the US, the Chevron deference, laws around credit card fees, and the hits keep coming. It is time to be fierce… not a lamb.
