Shared Spaces, Invisible Imprints: Intersections of Latinx and African American Intangible Heritage

Abstract:Historic Preservation staff at the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Sehila Mota Casper and Lawana Holland-Moore, explore how the experience and cultural heritage of African American and Latinx communities often overlap creating areas of common intangible heritage. By empowering communities of color to preserve both the tangible and intangible aspects of heritage and identity, historic preservationists can foster a greater understanding of the histories that connect individuals and communities to one another.
