As The Black Foxes, our sole mission is to create our own narrative. So instead of talking about the past for Black History Month, we are going to express gratitude for the present. “Black Present: History in the Making” is a series of conversations with remarkable Black individuals making their own history.
In this episode, Alexa Everson (She/Her) speaks with Taylor Kabeary (She/Her) from Brooklyn, NY, about the Preservation Side B project (@preservationsideb) created with her colleague and close friend, Eduardo Ruas (@duarteruas). This discussion covers the topics of historic preservation, how preservation intersects with race, the challenges faced by BIPOC in preservation, and how individuals can become better advocates for diverse/equitable/inclusive preservation.
