    Hi Everyone -


    My name is k. kennedy Whiters, and I am a preservation architect based in New York. I am the founder of an initiative called (un)Redact the Facts. Last month, to further the advocacy of the initiative, I launched a study on the way grammar and language choices in history communications, in particular, narratives about uncomfortable history, affect the way people feel.
