Introducing Graduate Assistant Nedra Deadwyler

Atlanta native Nedra Deadwyler joins the Georgia State Historic Preservation Office's African American programs as its new graduate research assistant. She is a second-year graduate student at Georgia State University, pursuing her Masters in Historic Preservation. Nedra brings a wealth of professional experience and personal passion to her historic preservation work. Prior to starting her preservation studies, Nedra worked as a licensed social worker for 19 years in New York, Seattle, and Atlanta. And in 2013, she founded a biking and walking tour company that uses the built environment to tell the stories of Atlanta's diversity communities and their contributions the city and its quality of life.
Let's learn more about Nedra's unique perspective on historic preservation and what she hopes to bring to the field:
Have you always had a passion for history and preserving historic places? History is something I have thought about a lot and it was my strongest subject in high school. For me, understanding Black history was cultivated through family relationships namely talking with my elders, parents, other family members and family friends. Their stories filled gaps and corrected misconceptions that were presented in school. I am thankful for the field of historic preservation because one can gain skills and methods for preserving these narratives and for saving the places and space where history happened. It was through social work that I discovered that one's narrative can create a more positive outcome. In some ways, being a social worker lead me back to revisiting history Black history and US history as a way of finding solutions for systemic issues.
What led you to start a biking/walking tour? I started my bike tour company as a way to bring an authentic voice and perspective to stories I'd heard from Black folks that are not available in the history books. I love biking and walking as they put one into the flow of life, making connection with both space, place, and people in ways that riding in a car does not. During my 13 years of getting around cities without a car, I learned a lot about communities and the vibrant cultures they contain.
How do you think such a venture contributes to Historic Preservation? These bike tours keep stories about people, events and where they happened alive and bring them to our consciousness. Using conversation and curated stops, a bike or walking tour helps you construct a real understanding of these histories and gives value and respect to this past.
Any goals for yourself after completing your MHP at Georgia State University? My goals are to continue growing as a historian and as a preservationist. I plan to use the skills I'll gain in the African American Programs office to support diverse communities as

they use preservation. My bike tours will continue as I add and train more tour guides. Hopefully it will help me put my preservation goals in motion.
