Afro-American History Interpretation At Selected National Parks, Joseph Harris

History Department Publications

The basic objectives of this project were to evaluate the authenticity of the historical resources which document the heritage of Afro-Americans at specified National Park Service (NPS) sites, to determine the effectiveness of the presentations of that heritage at those sites, to ascertain the quality of the interpretive personnel, to explore ways of improving the relationship between the sites and local Afro-American individuals and groups, and to make recommendations to the National Park Service.
