Former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter will moderate a panel discussion with the leaders of three Black heritage sites, the Marian Anderson, Henry Ossawa Tanner and Paul Robeson houses, which are each in the midst of renovations to both their physical spaces and their programmatic activities.

All proceeds from this panel discussion will be donated to the organizations of these three black heritage sites. 

Panelists:

Jillian Pirtle, CEO of The National Marian Anderson Museum & Historical Society

Janice Sykes-Ross, Executive Director of the Paul Robeson House & Museum

Christopher Rogers, Ph.D., Co-coordinator of The Friends of the Tanner House
