On February 8, join us as we learn from NPCA's Director of Cultural Resources Alan Spears why maintaining an inclusive and relevant National Park System is critically important to the future of our parks.
Two out of every three national parks commemorate our shared history and culture. From the Civil War through civil rights and beyond, many of these units contain some of the most significant historical resources and engaging stories of the entire system.
Alan will share stories of African American history in our national parks and explain how NPCA advocates to create and maintain a park system that represents America.
