Monmouth University hosted the third annual Julian Francis Abele “Out of the Shadows” Virtual Public History Symposium on Dec. 12. Sponsored by the public history minor, the free forum is intended as a welcoming place for public history practitioners at all levels.
Established and emerging scholars, as well as graduate and undergraduate students are invited to share their public history work on individuals or groups in history whose legacies have been purposefully or inadvertently suppressed, overshadowed, or underappreciated.
The Symposium is named in honor of pioneering African American architect Julian Francis Abele, who contributed greatly to the design of Monmouth University’s Great Hall.
