NEW ORLEANS — A preservation group is inviting the public to vote on 20 sites across the country that showcase the nation’s diversity and the fight for equality as part of a $2 million historic preservation campaign. The project is a collaboration between The National Trust for Historic Preservation, American Express and Main Street America. Germonique Ulmer from The National Trust for Historic Preservation says the “Partners in Preservation” campaign started in 2006. So far it’s committed over $22 million-plus to support more than 200 historic sites across the country. This year the 20 sites chosen in some way reflect the country’s diversity, multiculturalism and fight for equality.
