Hermina Glass-Avery - As the new Associate Director of the Center for the Study of the Civil War Era, my effectiveness as a public history practitioner with extensive experience in historic and cultural heritage preservation, capacity building, and program management will enhance the foundational vision of the Center for the Study of the Civil War Era adding robust perspectives that engender equity, respect, diversity of thought, social justice and human rights. I have been employed as an independent interpretive strategies consultant working with several community-based public history initiatives as well as CRM firms on historic cemeteries, churches, and schools in the southeast region. Previously, I was program assistant in African American Programs at the Georgia State Historic Preservation Office. Recently, my work has been employed as models for restorative justice in historic preservation.
