Northeast Office Welcomes 1772 Fellow
The Northeast Regional Office is pleased to
announce that Ervin James of Cincinnati has
been selected for the prestigious 1772
Fellowship beginning May 26, 2009. Both will
work in the Northeast Office in Boston to
develop a regional database and survey of
African American preservation organizations
and historic sites, from Maine to Delaware.
This effort is to first identify those working to
preserve African American historic places, to
assess the health of these organizations, and
to build relationships with each site to advise
them on various resources available at NTHP.
This valuable work, particularly the survey, will
influence and guide future programming that
the Northeast Office is developing to support
these organizations.
Ervin James is currently completing his
doctorate in history at Texas A & M University
and previously attended Texas Southern
University and Tuskegee University. His
experience working in historic preservation and
in public history includes such respected
organizations as the Texas Historical
Commission, National Center for Preservation
Training and Technology, and Boston African
American National Historic Site, and includes
presentations at the National African American
Alliance Conference and the Association for the
Study of African American Life and History.
Ervin will also work as the NTHP's African
American Historic Places Coordinator beginning
September 2009 in Washington, D.C.
