The Historical Association for putting together this remarkable conference. And for inviting me to facilitate this panel. This conference, like its at aerpart in 1983, stands historical crossroads. Themeslarly around the of this panel race, power and urban space. The projects we will hear about ,ver the next hour and a half the questions at stake in this panel touch of the heart of modern africanAmerican History. On questions of the structure in agency.

It touches on issues of segregation and integration terms that are misunderstood in contemporary political discourse but are at the heart of how we conceptualize the history of urban space. 19 83, the field of the africanamerican urban history was very much in the shadow of the urban uprisings of the lake 1960s.

But when you look over at the National Museum of African American history and recognize that a few short years ago, there was nothing there, and what lonnie has accomplished is mindboggling. The idea that lonnie and jim have had about making this engagementand an with the past as a central aspect of opening the museum to the American Public is really quite terrific.
