Speaker: Myrick Howard, President Emeritus, Preservation North Carolina
All too often, when a historical building is torn down, its history goes away with the demolition. The tangible connection is broken. Historical buildings convey the history that we already know (or think we know!) and invite us to learn more. Myrick Howard will talk about some of the history that’s been uncovered about the buildings that Preservation NC was instrumental in preserving during his 45-year career there.
From 1978 to 2023, Myrick Howard served as president of Preservation North Carolina, the state’s only statewide private nonprofit preservation organization. During his tenure, Preservation NC became one of the nation’s largest and most prestigious statewide preservation organizations. The National Park Service referred to Preservation North Carolina as “the premier statewide preservation organization in the South—if not the nation.”
