In this age of renewed culture wars, where diverse histories are the battlegrounds, how can institutions and people be content with the ethics of actively misrepresented stories to the public? Join public historians of African-American history as they discuss the modern challenges of preserving and sharing a more complete American story today and how we can all work to defend tomorrow’s histories.

• Stephanie Lampkin, PhD, Curator at The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center
• Modupe Lobode, PhD, Curator at The National Museum of American History
• Amber Mitchell, MA, Curator of Black History, Henry Ford
• Tiffany Tolbert, MA, Senior Director for Preservation, African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund, at National Trust for Historic Preservation
