Places can invite shared experiences and opportunities to uncover the past in ways that both challenge and unite us. A fuller public expression of the histories that shape our community places will strengthen the values we share. Mellon aims to expand our collective imagination around how we might activate our public spaces for a deeper understanding of our communities and their stories.
