off the event, followed by three panels of Oregon experts, and conclude with a community share out. Keynote speaker <a href="https://savingplaces.org/brent-leggs"><font color="#467886"><u>Brent Leggs</u></font></a>, executive director of the <a href="https://savingplaces.org/african-american-cultural-heritage"><font color="#467886"><u>African

preservation movement. Mr. Leggs will provide context and inspiration for how Black culture and historic preservation are growing and ﬂourishing on the national scale. “We are honored to bring Mr. Leggs to Oregon so we can learn from his exceptional work in

this ﬁeld, as well as share our combined work to preserve Oregon’s African American history,” says Kimberly Stowers Moreland of Moreland Resource Consulting.</span></font></div>

<div style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">“Not all histories are treated equally in the preservation ﬁeld. Historic landmarks are typically designated based on their relationship to the dominant historical narrative of the

area,” said Zachary Stocks, Oregon Black Pioneers’ Executive Director. “As a result, structures associated with people of color, women, immigrants, and LGBTQIA+ folks are often overlooked by preservation agencies.”</span></font></div>

<div style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">“This symposium is a great opportunity to highlight the work being done to preserve these often overlooked and underappreciated places and stories of the Black community,” adds Mariah

Rocker, Oregon Black Pioneers’ Public Programs and Exhibits Manager.</span></font></div>
