International Coalition Of Sites Of Conscience
Founded in the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience (ICSC or “the Coalition”) is the only worldwide network of Sites of Conscience - historic sites, museums, and memory initiatives that use the past to address social justice issues today. With over 350 members in more than 65 countries, we build the capacity of these vital institutions through grants, networking, training, transitional justice mechanisms, and advocacy. These members and partners remember a variety of histories and come from a wide range of settings – including long-standing democracies, countries struggling with legacies of violence, as well as post-conflict contexts just beginning to address their transitional justice needs – but they are all united by their common commitment to use the lessons of the past to find innovative solutions to related social justice issues today. In 2014, we launched our Global Initiative for Justice, Truth and Reconciliation (GIJTR), a consortium of nine global organizations that works alongside communities to amplify the voices of survivors and inspire collective action in countries struggling to confront human rights violations. GIJTR has worked with partners in 72 countries, fostered over 240 grassroots projects and engaged more than 681 local civil society organizations in building capacities and laying the groundwork for community-wide participation in transitional justice processes.

The Blue Ridge National Heritage Area was federally designated in November 2003 in recognition of the distinct character, culture, and natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and foothills in Western North Carolina. The federal legislation that designated the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area also created a nine-member board of directors. The board then formed a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization—which operates under the name the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area Partnership—to steward the federal funds that support the designation, build partnerships in the region, attract matching funds, and implement projects. Heritage tourism in the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area contributes $2.39 billion annually to the economy of the region, supporting more than jobs and generating $176.5 million annually in state and local tax revenue, according to a 2014 economic impact study.

In 1830s.Thousands of Enslaved African-Americans traveled on the "Trail of Tears" with the Choctaw Indians to the New Indian Territory known as SE Oklahoma today.

Illinois & Michigan Canal National Heritage Area
The Illinois & Michigan Canal National Heritage Area is comprised of 60 communities in northeast Illinois, covering 831 square miles, and is home to millions living amidst rich history. Traveling through this corridor of land and water, we enter the romance and the reality of glaciers and fossils, indigenous peoples and frontier settlements, diverse architecture and towns surrounded by industrial and rural landscapes; a special place of preservation, conservation, recreation, and economic development. The persistence of stakeholders toward this “landmark notion of a public/private urban national park … changed the nature of perceptions of open space preservation in this country.” Thus, in 1984, the IMCNHA was officially designated by the US Congress to bring individuals together to preserve our history, support our communities, and carry-on stewardship of this great land. This first national heritage area not only became a reality but helped spark a national trend which shows no signs of abating. The backbone of the heritage area is the 96-mile long I&M Canal which opened in 1848 from Chicago to LaSalle, IL, linking Lake Michigan & the Great Lakes with the Illinois River, to become a travel route for settlement, trade, and modern enterprise. The celebratory opening of the I&M Canal marked the birth of Chicago, and the canal route from its first day became an economic engine for the country’s westward expansion. This canal route exists today as a recreational and historic trail. Stewardship includes economic development, community development, historic preservation, storytelling, recreation, conservation, and sustainability. The IMCNHA is coordinated by the Canal Corridor Association (CCA), a 501(c)3 non-profit founded in 1981, providing programs and events as well as maps/brochures, interpretive signs, historical silhouettes, bike rentals, and a website, https://iandmcanal.org/ The I&M Canal Boat and Visitor Center in LaSalle is owned and managed by CCA.
