Be introduced to the pillars of ethical history interpretation. This approach to interpretation collaborates with those whose history is suppressed and misrepresented and integrates their stories into corrective narratives that reveal people holistically, while
being empathetic to learners—connecting them to past, present, and future conditions, and providing frontline history workers the highest support.
<br>
<br>
Shawn Halifax is Executive Director of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Woodlawn and Pope-Leighey House. He previously led public history efforts at McLeod Plantation Historic, one of only two plantation museums founded to interpret slavery and
its legacies. He is lead facilitator of the Smithsonian’s NMAAHC’s Ethical Interpretation workshop.
