Workshops I-VI: Block I

Honoring History and Uplifting Legacies Through Neighborhood Preservation Projects

Room: Grand 7

Neighborhood transformation often starts with the built environment—but real impact requires understanding the culture, history, and lived experiences that shaped a community. Grounding revitalization efforts in that history builds trust and strengthens relationships with residents.

In this interactive workshop, La’Neice Littleton, Ph.D., will share practical approaches to oral history and neighborhood preservation. She’ll be joined by Camden Baggs of the Quantum Foundation to discuss how philanthropy can partner with communities to elevate local history, and by Suzanne Pickett, CEO of Historic Eastside Community Development, who is leading a heritage trail initiative in Jacksonville’s OutEast neighborhood.
