It’s National Preservation Month, and this year, we celebrate the importance of some of the lesser-known stories of underserved communities. Our historic preservation specialists Vance Kelley, Nancy Goldenberg, and Julia Manglitz join this episode to share stories about some of the special places they’ve worked on that define our history. From a community center built by Chinese pioneers to a church pastored by Oliver Brown of Brown v. Board of Education, buildings are amazing recordkeepers of our past. When taken care of, their structures and their stories can last far into the future.
