The National Trust for Historic Preservation has released its annual list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places, with several buildings significant to Black history and the civil rights movement.
Created every year since 1988, the list is released by the National Trust to garner support in protecting and sharing places’ unique histories, many of which are decrepit or at risk of being destroyed. “This list draws attention to historic places we must protect and honor—not only because they define our past, but also because the stories they tell offer important lessons for the way forward together,” said Paul Edmondson, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, in a statement. “These 11 places celebrate the fact that our past is a multicultural fabric that, when pieced together, reveals our true identity as Americans.”
