Still in Love

a Virtual Valentine's Day + Black History Month Celebration for the Black Heritage Sites We Love

now until 7pm EST onThurs., February 27, 2025

Did Burt Bacharach and Hal David envision a house missing the people who lived in it when they penned the song, "A House Is Not a Home," sung by Luther Vandross in 1981? Maybe 🤷🏽‍♀️

Are we claiming “A House Is Not a Home” as a preservation-conservation anthem? Yes, yes we are 🤗

This Valentine's Day, let's shower Black Heritage sites with love, those with us in physical form, and those with us in spirit by writing a love note to them, a Valentine.

Share your love note and Black in Historic Preservation will share it on our socials. Accepting love notes now until 7pm EST on Thurs., Feb. 27.
