    50th Anniversary Lecture Series - What We Learned: Takeaways from 50 years of advocacy


    Dec 15, 2020

    December 15, 2020

    6:00 – 7:00 p.m.

    via Zoom

    In this final installment of our 50th Anniversary Lecture Series panelists will discuss what HDC and the preservation world have learned over the past 50 years. Looking at preservation as a profession, as an educational tool and as a community organizing principle, they will discuss what some of the future opportunities and challenges for preservationists (and HDC) might be. We’ve lined up a great panel, Angel Ayón, Samuel Brooks and Vicki Weiner, and moderator Tara Kelly who between them represent a great cross-section of the preservation community, with varied and valuable experiences in education, professional practice, nonprofit organizations and community activism – as well as sharing a history with HDC from running the place to being a Six to Celebrate partner.
