Redacted Heritage Atlas

Geospatial Storytelling about Redacted Heritage in the U.S.

The Redacted Heritage Atlas is a digital storytelling project by (un)Redact the Facts, a research initiative of Black in Historic Preservation’s Preservation + Belonging Lab, that maps if and how heritage sites in the US interpret their history of chattel enslavement.
