Commemoration: The Promise of Remembrance and New Beginnings
As interpreters of our nation’s past, our field searches for meaning in the achievements and trials of those who came before us. Commemoration aims to celebrate, educate, and honor the past. With commemoration comes reflection. How do we remember key pieces of our nation’s history? Whose lens do we use to see the past? How can these spaces become meaningful and relevant? It brings the promise of new beginnings as we continuously reflect on our past, future, and stories we tell. Join us in Richmond to explore the power of commemoration, remembrance, and new beginnings. The Civil War Sesquicentennial and the 10th Anniversary of 9/11 serve as the back-drop to this essential conversation of commemoration and how we experience our past.
