Community Archaeology as Black History
Social Science and History Department at Parkway Central Library
Join us on Tuesday, February 20th at 6PM in the 4th floor Skyline Room for a panel discussion with participants of Heritage West: The West Philadelphia Community Archaeology Project!
Heritage West is a community archaeology project created with the goal of using archaeology to uncover stories of individuals who lived in the Black Bottom neighborhood of West Philadelphia from the 19th century to the present. For four months, professional archaeologists, students, and community members worked together to excavate artifacts and features that highlight the love, community, and humanity of the Black Bottom neighborhood and recognize the violence of its destruction. This panel will discuss their experiences.
