African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The grants support projects to preserve sites associated with African American history. The Wilfandel Club was established in 1945 by and for African American women, and is the oldest African American women's club in Los Angeles.

The OHP and Climate Heritage Mobilization
The Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) is excited to play a key role in an upcoming official affiliated event of the
Global Climate Action Summit, September 12-14, 2018, in San Francisco. The
Cultural Heritage Mobilization event, taking place September 12-13, is set to mobilize the cultural heritage and historic preservation sectors for climate action in support of the Paris Agreement. Additionally, the event will gather valuable information from around the globe to inform the recently commissioned
California Cultural Resources Climate Change Task Force as part of Safeguarding California 2018.
The Safeguarding California Plan: 2018 Update is a roadmap showing how California's state government is taking action to respond to climate change. It clearly lays out the next steps for meeting the State's goals and how those objectives will be achieved.
The event venue, held at and hosted by the California Historical Society, has seating capacity for approximately 100 people. However, we are pleased to offer free, live-stream access to anyone, anywhere! For more information, visit www.climateheritage.org. Join us!

NTHP Invites Comments
Last year the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP) published
Preservation for People: A Vision for the Future after a series of meetings and symposia across the country. In the months since its publication, the document has already generated conversations among those in the preservation movement and related fields. The NTHP would like to extend the conversation by inviting all members of the preservation community to consider: what does the future of preservation mean to you? Comments can be shared on the NTHP free online community,
