Summary
The Black Heritage Resources Task Force believes that State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs) can play an integral role in the preservation of African-American archaeology by providing guidance for the documentation of Black historic sites and consulting with Black stakeholders. This report provides reviews SHPO office planning documents and National Register for Historic Places nominations to understand the current practices regarding Black heritage resources. It also presents the results and analysis of two surveys distributed for the task force by the National Council of State Historic Preservation Officers. The task force recommends that SHPOs implement goals to diversify their state inventories, increase their engagement with Black communities and preservationists, and help Black communities to build capacity in heritage preservation practices.
