Exhibit: Civil Rights in the Sunshine State (January 26-April 24)

Share

This rich and engaging exhibit explores the struggle of African Americans for equality in Florida from the end of Reconstruction (1877) through the 1970s. Examines the deep history of black activism in the state and reveals the multi-generational effort of men and women whose courage and sacrifice ended centuries of institutionalized racism. From Miami to Tampa and St. Petersburg to St. Augustine, the Florida movement is explored at the local, state, and national levels.

Exhibit opened January 26 and closes April 24.

Museum opening hours: Wednesday – Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
