Please join the White House Historical Association, Department of History, and the Blackburn Institute on Thursday, October 17 for a panel, “History and Reconciliation: Conversations on Slavery, Historic Preservation, and Community in the South.” The conversation features Dr. Matthew Costello, interim director of the David M. Rubenstein Center for History at the WHHA, Dr. Hilary Green of Gender and Race Studies, and UA alumnus Malcolm Cammeron of the University of Virginia.

The panel will take place in the Ferguson Student Center room 2408, 2-4 p.m., and will be followed by a reception at the Gorgas House.

This event signals the beginning of a longer-term relationship between the WHHA and the History Department: we will announce a summer internship program that promises to expand our public history initiatives.
