The U.S. National Advisory Council on Historic Preservation invites you to its annual Preserve
the Past, Build for the Future webinar series.
March 26, 12pm ET/1pm CT
Black artists have shaped the soundtrack of our lives, pioneering music genres like jazz, blues, gospel, and hip-hop that continue to inspire and resonate today. The venues where these trailblazers performed—legendary theaters, vibrant music clubs, and iconic recording studios—are more than just buildings; they are living monuments to American music history. In this webinar, we’ll dive into the rich legacy of these spaces, exploring their cultural significance and the vital efforts to preserve them. Join us as we celebrate the places that amplified Black voices and discuss how we can protect these historic sites for future generations.
