African American Cultural Heritage Sites

From sites of enslavement to places of self-emancipation, and from the homes of Civil Rights leaders, artists, and musicians to Historically Black Colleges & Universities and Negro League ballparks, the African American story is part of communities large and small.

This May, our Preservation Month theme is “People Saving Places” to shine the spotlight on everyone doing the work of saving places—in big ways and small—and inspiring others to do the same!

Celebrate!
