As part of Virtual Preservation Month (May 2020), Phylicia Rashad, co-chair and brand ambassador for the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund, and Brent Leggs, the program’s executive director, held a conversation about the power of preservation and the Action Fund’s critical work.

From personal stories about their connection to places, to the important role that all Americans can play in telling a more inclusive American story, their discussion amplified the critical importance of preserving African American historic places.
