Fredric Miller Memorial Lecture May 5, 2011
Fred Miller with Howard Gillette and John Alviti
This lecture, remembering archivist, historian, and scholar Fred Miller, offers the opportunity to address issues central to the practice of public history. To mark my retirement July 1, I intend to reflect back on a series of experiences where history has served to illuminate social justice issues. While the title is drawn from my book about Washington, D.C., Between Justice and Beauty, my focus will be on more recent work in Camden, Philadelphia at the President’s House site, and Bethlehem, Pennsylania’s steel site.
