Useable Past is back this August with another workshop. This series seeks to showcase efforts and examples in Northeast Tennessee when it comes to inclusive tourism\, difficulties faced\, as well as action steps we can all take to continue to move forward as a region. \nThis free workshop will take place online from 9:00 am – 10:30 am on Thursday\, August 26. Speakers include Kenneth Libby\, Business Manager for the Children’s Defense Fund at the Alex Haley Farm\, Adam Velk\, Museum Director at Green McAdoo Cultural Center\, and Adam Dickson\, Langston Centre Director.
