Held in the Nelson Mandela Room at the Ford Foundation in midtown Manhattan, Preservation Conference 2022 brought together a wide array of speakers who shared both the challenges and triumphs of grass-roots advocacy to preserve the cultural and architectural legacy of Harlem and other historically African American communities.

The all-day conference program included a keynote address from Irvin Henderson, Principal of Henderson and Company, and three panel sessions: Harlem at a Glance: Looking Back to Look Forward; The Urgency: Doing What Needs to be Done; and The Intervention: Finding a Way Forward.
