HAC PART 1

The purpose of the part 1 of the HAC the slave Galleries Restoration Project is to help restore and interpret the slave galleries as a catalyst for dialogue within the community. I think its successful because experienced community leaders engage people within the community about the galleries and other issues. The Galleries stand as a physical reminder how and why boundaries of marginalization are drawn and contested. The Galleries have also been showed to have the power to get people attention on issues from new perspectives in which ways I think is also successful. The galleries have become a space of reflection and where people can become emotionally driven by issues that relate to them.
