History@Workis the blog of the National Council on Public History (NCPH). Public history, aka applied history, focuses ways to make history relevant and useful in the public sphere.
Government, local, and oral historians; curators; archivists; museum professionals; film and media producers; historical interpreters; and historic preservationists are all public historians. Genealogists need a seat at this table, too, in my opinion.
Vision: The Coming to the Table vision for the United States is of a just and truthful society that acknowledges and seeks to heal from the racial wounds of the past—from slavery and the many forms of racism it spawned.
Mission:Coming to the Table provides leadership, resources, and a supportive environment for all who wish to acknowledge and heal wounds from racism that is rooted in the United States’ history of slavery.
