LALH's Racism and the American Park trilogy elevates stories of history, equity, and belonging through cinematic storytelling and narration by Ashley Bryant.

ORLANDO, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / November 3, 2025 / Tarvis, a management consulting and communications firm guiding creative professionals in strategic growth, proudly celebrates client Ashley Bryant for her voice work in a powerful new film series produced by the Library of American Landscape History (LALH). The three-part series, Racism and the American Park, explores how the nation's public parks have reflected and resisted racial inequality throughout U.S. history.

Through her narration, Bryant brings emotional depth and clarity to stories that expose how access to public space has shaped the American experience. The films include Landscapes of Exclusion, Boston's Franklin Park: Olmsted, Recreation, and the Modern City, and Olmsted and Yosemite: Civil War, Abolition, and the National Park Idea - each inspired by an award-winning LALH publication.

As an African American voice over actor, Bryant's connection to the material runs deep. Her narration underscores the power of representation, amplifying the voices and histories that too often go unheard in stories about public space and belonging.

"Tarvis champions storytelling that connects creativity with conscience," said Karin Barth, Director of Operations at Tarvis. "Ashley's narration brings empathy to complex history - reminding audiences that voice can both inform and heal. It's the kind of work that redefines what meaningful storytelling sounds like."

The films will premiere together on November 4, 2025, at the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline, Massachusetts, in an event titled Racism and the American Park. The evening will feature live discussions with authors and historians Ethan Carr, Rolf Diamant, and William O'Brien, whose works form the foundation of the films. Following the premiere, the series will be released on the LALH website and YouTube channel in early 2026.

Bryant, an accomplished voice and on-camera actor known for her warm, resonant tone and background in classical theater, describes the project as one of the more meaningful in her career.

"Voicing these films reminded me how much power lives in sound," said Ashley Bryant. "These aren't just stories about parks - they're stories about belonging, about who gets to be seen and heard in public spaces. I'm grateful that my voice could help carry that history to new audiences."

Together, Tarvis and Bryant highlight the power of collaboration between artistry and purpose, using voice to bridge storytelling, education, and social awareness.
