On this week's episode of the Practical Preservation podcast, we spoke with Catherine Fleming Bruce, author and activist. Catherine is the author of "The Sustainers: Being, Building and Doing Good through Activism in the Sacred Spaces of Civil Rights, Human Rights and Social Movements" which received the 2017 Historic Preservation Book Prize from the University of Mary Washington Center for Historic Preservation. Catherine advocates for the preservation of historic spaces significant to the civil rights movement, and discussed the importance of equality in preservation, and ensuring the economic benefits of preservation projects go back to the surrounding communities.
