 Hi, I'm Brent Leggs, the Executive Director of the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund at the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Action Fund is the largest preservation fund in U.S. history dedicated to the preservation of African American landmarks. We harness the power of historic preservation as a tool for equity and racial justice. I'm standing in front of the Historic Asbury United Methodist Church right here in Washington, D.C., a building that was constructed in 1836 and exceptionally important in D.C.'s cultural memory and legacy. I am honored to make a special announcement today that the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund is investing $3 million in 40 African American landmarks across United States to help expand the American story and to honor the full contributions of African Americans in American history. I want to extend our gratitude to our investors and donors like the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Mackenzie Scott and Dan Jewett, an anonymous gift in the memory of Amon Arbery, President and Mrs. George W. Bush, and others for investing in the Action Fund and our important work.
