Trevor BurrowsRe: erasure at historical sites, national parks, etc. in the United States:
Reading this article about the removal of a slavery-related exhibit at one of the historic sites in Philly - at the house where George and Martha Washington trafficked in people they enslaved... and it has me thinking...
I wonder how hard it would be to take the old exhibit text that is removed, create a zine/brochure out of it, and just literally start handing out materials on the street outside of modified sites.
I know there are programs to save the original texts of exhibits/sites. Does anyone know if there are any programs working to provide that text on the ground, near the exhibits themselves?
Please share if you have any leads, and feel free to boost.
