How Do We Share Memorials, Sites and Monuments of Difficult Histories?
September 23, 2020 |
A panel discussion exploring complicated histories
Wednesday, September 23, 2020 | 4:30 to 6:00 p.m.
Historic Hawai‘i Foundation will present a panel discussion on policies, issues and current thinking around preserving and interpreting places where complicated and/or difficult historic events occurred.
Join us as our panel explores these and other questions associated with preserving difficult parts of the past:
- What is the role of historic sites, monuments and memorials in educating, engaging and inviting discourse in public spaces?
- How does public policy influence when and whether to keep, remove, replace, interpret or contextualize difficult histories as new voices are added and modern perspectives change?
- How do race and power impact preservation in the public space?
- How does individual complexity, achievements and flaws, affect public presentation of history?
