A Mansion on the Parkway: Mrs. Moses H. Cone and the Politics of Public History

CAS Spring 2021 Zoomer Series
In this presentation, Dr. Neva J. Specht and Carrie Streeter will highlight poignant stories from periods in which Moses and Bertha Cone lived at Flat Top Manor but they will also revisit the history of the estate during its management by the National Park Service (NPS). They will discuss the “production of history” at Moses H. Cone Memorial Park-illuminating how the Cone story has been told and the estate interpreted over the years. Using this lens helps reveal larger questions about American history-questions about identity, class, religion, gender, race and more.
