Her true legacy lies in her unwavering dedication to historic preservation and the persistent advocacy that ultimately saved Savannah’s signature squares from destruction. This HSF Lecture will explore Lee’s important contributions as well as the challenges that she faced and overcame in the transformation of Troup Square.ABOUT SABRINNA COX: Cox currently teaches preservation design at SCAD, combining instruction with an active professional practice, designing exhibits and digital experiences for organizations like the Bluffton Gullah Cultural Center and A Call to Action.
