PreserveCast Ep134: Doing Social Good through Preservation Activism with Catherine Fleming Bruce

from PreserveCast · host Preservation Maryland

As America confronts, commemorates, and questions its history – preservationists like Catherine Fleming Bruce are helping to frame those conversations and providing powerful examples of how historic places can help us in these challenging times. Bruce is the author of an award-winning book on sustaining the sacred spaces of civil rights, human rights, and social movements and how this work can support the march towards greater social justice. With her book, "The Sustainers: Being, Building and Doing Good through Activism in the Sacred Spaces of Civil Rights, Human Rights and Social Movements," she became the first African American winner of the annual Historic Preservation Book Prize, presented by the University of Mary Washington Center for Historic Preservation. It’s a weighty topic – but one we must explore – and with someone who knows it well on this week’s PreserveCast.
