[The Public History truck] also doesn't include a brick-and-mortar location, which makes it hard for it to build a sense of belonging in the neighborhood and city.

Agreed! Similar idea to Andrea Burns' discussion on the Black Museum Movement. "A history museum for us and by us." Interesting to compare the PHM's situation with the history truck and other grassroots efforts like Monument Lab. Although temporary, these projects seem more effective. We should consider their sustainability overtime and ways to build that more lasting "sense of belonging."
