ABSTRACT:Howard Zinn and his popular book A People’s History of the United States have been left out of conversations regarding the development of public history. Although Zinn did not identify as a public history scholar, his methods and goals offer lessons for public historians today. At the same time, his approach comes with warnings for what public historians should avoid. By considering public history through Zinn’s perspective, we can clarify goals for our public history projects today.
摘要：霍华德·津恩（Howard Zinn）和他的畅销书《美国人民史》（A People's History of the United States）被排除在关于公共历史发展的对话之外。尽管津恩并不认同自己是一位公共历史学者，但他的方法和目标为今天的公共历史学家提供了借鉴。与此同时，他的方法也对公共历史学家应该避免的事情提出了警告。通过从Zinn的角度考虑公共历史，我们可以明确我们今天的公共历史项目的目标。

Public historians have struggled to take a hard line against neo-Confederate groups in theory as well as practice. This article proposes a methodological shift that can clarify the work and obligations of the public historian following the insurrection on January 6, 2021. The frame of action research positions historians as public-facing actors and advocates. The frame of restorative justice clarifies the stakes of, and stakeholders within, historical harm. We apply these frameworks to two contested sites for public history in Florence, Alabama, that revolve around the Confederacy. Finally, we use our experiences from the field to distinguish communities from counter-communities and provide strategies for making cultural institutions inhospitable to cultural insurrectionists.

Presidential addresses have always been in some measure personal reflections that aspire to engage broader issues facing our communities. Following that tradition, I will ground my talk today in my personal experience, in some of the work that I have done, but I also hope that in some small way it speaks to critical issues facing the public history community and indeed, all of our communities. At times over the past two years, it has seemed that the world was coming apart—a global pandemic, an ongoing reckoning with systemic racism and inequality, one of the most divisive elections in our country’s history, all set against the backdrop of a worsening climate crisis that poses an existential threat to the planet as we know it. I will not claim to have the answers today, but I do want to reflect upon some of the ways that the practice of public environmental history might help address some of the problems we face. In deciding on this topic, the COVID-19 pandemic loomed large. That shouldn’t come as a surprise. The pandemic has touched everything we have done individually and collectively over the past two years, which, as chance would have it, corresponded with my term as NCPH president. The real and potential impacts of the pandemic, your health and well-being being chief among them, were constant considerations as the staff and leadership of our organization worked to provide the programming and support you expect and deserve while carefully stewarding the organization’s resources. That meant making some tough decisions, most notably moving three successive annual meetings online. Although the next couple of years will continue to pose challenges, I am proud to say that NCPH is on a solid footing.

The imaginative reconstruction of the Dock Street Theatre, completed between 1935 and 1937 in Charleston, South Carolina, was a New Deal experiment in historic preservation. Funded by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and led by local architects Albert Simons and Samuel Lapham, the orchestrated re-creation of a lost eighteenth-century theater reflected the white elite’s desire to immortalize the city’s prosperous colonial and antebellum past in the historic built environment. While the project courted conservative interests and created a romanticized version of Old Charleston, the strong support of Democratic mayor Burnet Maybank and WPA director Harry L. Hopkins simultaneously pushed forward a progressive southern agenda. This dual and contradictory set of motivations culminated in an intriguing use of historic preservation to nurture a particular community’s sense of place and use historic buildings as a catalyst for cultural rebirth.
1935年至1937年间，位于南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿的码头街剧院(Dock Street Theatre)完成了富有想象力的重建，这是一项历史保护的新政实验。由工程发展管理局(WPA)资助，由当地建筑师Albert Simons和Samuel Lapham领导，精心策划的重建了一座消失的18世纪剧院，反映了白人精英希望在历史建筑环境中不朽这座城市繁荣的殖民地和战前的历史。虽然该项目迎合了保守派的利益，并创造了一个浪漫版的老查尔斯顿，但民主党市长伯内特·梅班克和WPA主任哈里·l·霍普金斯的大力支持同时推动了一个进步的南方议程。这种双重和矛盾的动机最终导致了历史保护的有趣使用，以培养特定社区的地方感，并使用历史建筑作为文化重生的催化剂。

ABSTRACT:This article uses oral history interviews with the family and friends of Duane Puryear to document the history of one of the most frequently displayed panels of the AIDS Memorial Quilt. The approaching fortieth anniversary of the Quilt and its recent acquisition by the National AIDS Memorial warrant a reexamination of how we engage with the Quilt as archive. Puryear’s panel demonstrates how we might use this enormous community art project to excavate local histories of activism in response to HIV and AIDS; it also challenges reductive political histories of the Quilt that view it as in binary opposition to histories of direct-action groups like ACT UP.
