Marty Blatt [email protected]

How appropriate that we are meeting in Pensacola, Florida, a place long identified with numerous cultures and diverse populations, for the “Crossing Borders/Building Communities–Real and Imagined” Annual Meeting. And, if you are traveling from a colder environment like I am, what a pleasant experience it will be to spend several days on the Gulf of Mexico in western Florida.

Patrick Moore and his Local Arrangements Committee have done wonderful work. This annual meeting, held in Historic Pensacola Village, will be the first that NCPH has held at a historic village and this will allow all of us to walk outdoors from session to session, an opportunity to move around not generally available at our annual meetings. Saturday night we will gather under the stars to forget about ice and snow and enjoy the Shrimp Boil Fundraiser. Pensacola tours will examine colonial archaeology, Civil Rights, antebellum industry, the historic waterfront, and nearby Mobile, Alabama. There is even a community service project.

Our Program Committee, skillfully chaired by Roger Launius, has assembled an outstanding program covering an exceptionally diverse set of issues, including African American and Native American history, the teaching of public history, controversial and difficult subjects in public history, locally and internationally focused topics, and much more.

With the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War, NCPH will be on the cutting edge with our plenary presentation by Tony Horwitz, author of the wonderful book, Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the Unfinished Civil War, who is presently preparing a book on John Hotel Information Brown. Horwitz will speak about history and remembrance, and how journalism informs his approach to the past. Another plenary session will examine how public historians are negotiating the Sesquicentennial. Among the panelists will be Dwight Pitcaithley, who as Chief Historian of the National Park Service played a pivotal role in getting Civil War parks to address slavery.

I look forward to seeing you in Pensacola April 6–9, 2011.

Located along the picturesque Florida Gulf Coast, Pensacola’s past reflects a mixture of cultures and people unique to this part of America.

The Gulf Coast region’s present day identity draws upon Native American, European, African, and American influences absorbed through thousands of years of indigenous occupation and over four-hundred and fifty years

HOTEL / WELCOME of European and American settlement. Throughout the past four centuries, ownership of Pensacola changed hands between the Spanish, French, British, American, and Confederate governments on eight separate occasions leaving behind a legacy of multiculturalism evident through the architecture, names, cuisine, and people of the region. In more recent years, Pensacola’s location along the Gulf Coast provided an ideal space for the United States Navy to experiment with advances in human flight, lending to the city’s alternate nickname, the Cradle of Naval Aviation. By Flickr User Bonnie_Woodson. One of the most historic cities in America, Pensacola’s incredible past is only rivaled by its equally amazing natural beauty. Nestled between the sugar white beaches of the Gulf of Mexico and the dense pine forests of Northern Florida, Pensacola offers visitors opportunities to explore underwater treasures, wetlands, inland waterways, old growth forests, and much more.

We hope that your time in Pensacola is spent exploring the myriad unique opportunities the region has to offer. We are confident that once you experience our fair city, you will come to know it as we do, “The western gate to the Sunshine State, where thousands live the way millions wish they could!”
