Winner of the National Council on Public History 2022 Outstanding Public History Project Award
In February 2022, the National Council on Public History awarded a 2022 Outstanding Public History Project Award in the small institution category to me and my colleague, Dino Robinson, Founder and Executive Director of Shorefront Legacy Center, for our report "Evanston Policies and Practices Directly Affecting the African American Community." The NCPH awards committee members characterized their report as "detailed, compelling, and deeply researched history."
