In The News: "Revitalizing Black, Historical Narratives In National Parks Takes Courage & Strategic Collaboration"

A great example of partner collaboration and the historic preservation of African American history is the story of Blacks in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. This project is currently mapping African American cultural sites along the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The work is being spearheaded by NPS’ Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network in partnership with the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority, the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ Community Conservation Partnerships Program, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission and the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund.
