U.S. Cities Preserve Black History Milestones

Black history preservation efforts are ongoing in various U.S. cities, highlighting significant civil rights milestones. In Pittsburgh, the New Pittsburgh Courier, led by editor Rod Doss, plays a crucial role in documenting Black history and fighting discrimination. Similarly, Tampa's history of sit-ins at segregated lunch counters, notably in 1960, is being preserved and showcased, with efforts by individuals like Andrew Huse and Mark Leib. Meanwhile, the Liberty Theater in Amarillo stands as a historical symbol of civil rights struggles, though its preservation is threatened due to deterioration. On Delmarva, historians like Anton House are educating communities about past segregation and celebrating the African American community's achievements. These efforts underline a broader narrative of documenting and educating about Black history to ensure its legacy is secured for future generations.
