As we approach the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding, how can we better reflect the full range of people who have shaped our country? Learn more by joining the next free Forum Webinar: Our Missing History: Building a Toolkit for Change on Tues, March 31 at 2:00 p.m. ET.

For too long, women and other historically excluded communities have been consistently overlooked, undervalued, or erased entirely from historic recognition and designation.

During this solutions-focused conversation, Arabella Delgado, lead researcher for the Los Angeles Women’s Landmarks Project, and Chris Morris, senior director for preservation programs and lead of the Where Women Made History initiative at the @NationalTrustforHistoricPreservation will discuss how we can and must evolve preservation practice.

Attendees will:
- Hear an exploration of the institutional, procedural, and cultural barriers that have shaped whose histories are celebrated and whose are missing.
- Learn how new methodologies, assessment frameworks, research strategies, creative partnerships, and policies developed through the LA Women’s Landmarks Project can help you identify, document, and elevate the full stories of people and places in your own community.
- Leave energized and equipped with practical tools, knowledge, and a renewed commitment to telling a more complete American story.

Free and open to the public!
