Race, Power, and Preservation

Preservation, far from representing a neutral position, is a symbolic, political act. How has a preservation practice informed by racial bias and power shaped our built environments and reinforced inequities, here in Providence and more broadly? And how do “we the people,” tell the stories of places that matter — who is included, and who is locked out? Join PPS and community leaders for a discussion on the ways in which historic preservation must grow in order to affect positive, systemic change.
