Towards what end should history be preserved?

Who decides which aspects of history are to be preserved, how are they to be preserved, and what is to be forgotten?

Join us on Friday, February 12 for a conversation between SWF's Executive Director, Emmanuel Pratt, and Angela Ford, Founder and Executive Director of The Obsidian Collection Archives as they challenge traditional methods of historic preservation and offer a new way forward. The Obsidian Collection is a national non-profit organization focused on getting the images and articles of African – American newspapers and small archives into the marketplace and on the Internet.
