ABSTRACT
A shared approach of Sites of Conscience around the world is an active engagement in building a more just and humane future. This belief in the possibility for a better world does not come naively to the Sites of Conscience, rather it is rooted in a clear-eyed knowledge of our past, its pain, and its strength. This hopeful core of the work is rooted in that knowledge and in the hard-won evidence of heritage's ability to influence politics towards the creation of justice.
“But the politics of hope doesn't mean hoping that things come easy. It's a politics of believing in things unseen; of believing in what this country might be; and of standing up for that belief and fighting for it when it's hard.”
Barack Obama (Obama, 2007)
