African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund Awards Five Georgia-Based Organizations With Funding To Preserve Black Landmarks

The top leader of a fund that was created to preserve African American landmarks, says he hopes that the nation understands the connection between architecture and racial justice, as well as the importance of telling a fuller story.

Brent Leggs, the executive director of the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund, was a guest on Thursday’s edition of “Closer Look.”

He talked with show host Rose Scott about the history and mission of the fund and a new grant that will help preserve several Black landmarks across the nation.
