Activism and Design in the Creation of the President’s House Memorial

Join DAG with Michael Coard, founding member of ATAC, Avenging The Ancestors Coalition and Troy Leonard of Kelly Maiello Architects as we explore the creation and future of the President’s House/Slavery Memorial Site. The memorial is a testament to uncompromising, unadulterated, and strategic cultural grassroots activism, but recently, the site was flagged by the Trump administration as a threat to the promotion of America's “greatness” or “progress.”. Michael Coard and Troy Leonard will explore the impetus to the memorial's design and establishment, and the implications of the recent attack on the site's integrity

This event will be held at the Center for DesignPhiladelphia, 1218 Arch Street, Philadelphia PA 19107.

Registration is not required for in-person events, however it is helpful for our planning. Light refreshments will be served.
