• W4382568900 abstract "Learning From the PastWhat Is Black Heritage? Charlette Caldwell (bio) and Anna Gasha (bio) Introduction Since the summer of 2020, the surge in mainstream media coverage of structural racial inequities that continue to plague the United States—particularly on, but not limited to, the brutal police murders of Black Americans—has prompted the preservation field to turn an introspective gaze toward its White-centered historical foundations, assumptions, and practices.1 Among the calls for change are demands for better representation of Black heritage sites and narratives; increased opportunities to include and uplift Black preservationists and their work; and a more nuanced understanding of Black identity and positionality to inform the preservation of Black historic sites. Preservation and the production of heritage are cultural processes, pieces within a larger cultural and historical domain that bolster certain narratives over others. As Michel-Rolph Trouillot writes in Silencing the Past, silences and gaps are “inherent” in historical production, inevitably privileging certain narratives over others.2 And although recent efforts have been made to rectify past racial inequities as it relates to silenced or muted narratives at recognized and protected heritage sites, more can be done to understand and uncover the specificities of what constitutes “Black” heritage and its association with “Blackness” and its history in the United States. The goal, then, is to consider: How might we rectify past (and continued) injustices and misunderstandings when preserving and interpreting sites of Black heritage? As part of this anthology’s work to add to current conversations and create space for new ideas and approaches, we, as guest editors, ask the following questions: What is Black heritage? How can preservationists look both at and beyond built and tangible environments to educate ourselves on Black American culture and history? In addition, and most importantly, what do preservationists need to understand on what constitutes “Blackness” and its historical contextuality if the field is to actively engage in calls for change without further perpetuating exclusion and violence? These questions do not lend themselves to easy answers. However, it is worthwhile to begin fleshing out further points of discussion beyond what has been established when preserving Black heritage. Accordingly, this anthology positions itself as a conversation starter, identifying areas for reflection while foregrounding Black voices [End Page 1] from the past. This conversation seeks to offer fresh insights on contemporary modes of preservation and represent the relationship between past and present. The underrepresentation of Black American heritage sites and the lack of legislation to preserve these places are, by now, widely recognized, despite recent efforts to rectify this issue.3 Recent scholarship typically cites that only 8 percent of all listings on the United States’ National Register and National Historic Landmarks represent African American, Latinx, Asian American, Native American, and Native Hawaiian sites.4 Accordingly, Black American sites alone constitute even less than 8 percent of sites protected by designation at the federal level. If, in response, preservationists seek to identify, interpret, and conserve more heritage sites associated with Black culture and history, it is imperative that this work is undertaken sensitively and appropriately. There is no singular “correct” approach in dealing with and presenting Black narratives. However, it is incumbent upon the field to carefully consider traditional and alternative methods, intentions, and public-facing end products—not to mention the field’s own historical positionality as a White-dominated profession—to ensure that our efforts are not inadvertently misrepresenting Black heritage, or perpetuating legacies of injustice and exclusion. In doing so, historical perspectives not typically regarded as canonical “preservation” texts, like those presented in this volume, are critical in reorienting the field and its conception of “heritage.” These texts range from pamphlets to autobiographies, works of both nonfiction and fiction, by both male and female authors, demonstrating a range of cultural activity and influence that provides more fertile ground for the field to test and challenge traditional and alternative approaches to preservation. The past heavily continues to inform the power dynamics inherent within heritage preservation in the United States and, consequently, the terms on which Black activists have continued to demand redress for historical wrongs. It is essential to pay attention to variegated voices from the past, and..." @default.
