Abstract
-
In this lecture, kennedy Whiters examined how preservation and house museums are entangled with race and white supremacy, emphasizing who has agency in telling historical narratives. Using examples like Northern slavery sites and the Dyckman Farmhouse, she discussed how history is constructed through selective facts, language, and perspective—and how preservation can either reinforce or challenge historical erasure.
