Webster Groves Historic Preservation Lecture

“The Arc of Memory: Bending the Future of Historic Preservation” Max Page, Professor of Architecture and History and Director of the Historic Preservation Initiatives at University of Massachusetts Amherst, will propose a progressive agenda for historic preservation for the next fifty years, suggesting how the preservation movement can be a force for social justice, contributing to building more sustainable, meaningful, and fair communities by saving and interpreting places of pain, making our homes and cities more sustainable, and rethinking the thorny concepts of authenticity, integrity, and significance. Free and open to the public; reception will follow.
