History As Catalyst for Civic Dialogue: Case Studies from Animating Democracy

By Barbara Schaffer Bacon, Pam Korza, Animating Democracy

History as Catalyst for Civic Dialogue examines three projects that mined hidden, forgotten, or suppressed histories of slavery and lynching in the United States in order to stimulate meaningful dialogue about persistent issues of race and marginalization. Projects include: The Slave Galleries Restoration Project (St. Augustine's Church and the Lower East Side Tenement Museum); Traces of the Trade (Rhode Island Council on the Humanities and filmmaker Katrina Browne); and The Without Sanctuary Project (The Andy Warhol Museum).
