SUMMARY:Black Roots: From Dobyville to College Hill
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with friends and neighbors who lived in 1960s Tampa during segregation. We’ll also watch a clip from the documentary film “The Tampa Technique.” \nBlack people in Tampa and the surrounding areas began organizing residential communities shortly after the Civil War ended on May 6\, 1864. For many years\, the largest of these areas (the Scrub) was located between downtown Tampa and Ybor City. This was the foundation of the Central Avenue District. But other Black communities also sprang up: a portion of Port Tampa and Hyde Park (Dobyville) south of today’s Kennedy Boulevard; Spring Hill (the Black section of Sulphur Springs); Bealsville (in eastern Hillsborough County); West Tampa (areas near the Hillsborough River) and College Hill (in the heart of East Tampa). \nBlack Roots: From Dobyville to College Hill is part of a Tampa Bay History Center initiative in partnership with the Tampa Housing Authority to provide educational experiences in the historic St. James Episcopal Church. \n  \nIn-Person Signup    ZOOM SIGNUP

SUMMARY:An Evening with Bernard LaFayette Jr.
DESCRIPTION:From Ybor City’s red clay brick-paved streets to Pennsylvania Avenue and our nation’s capitol\, Reverend Dr. Bernard LaFayette Jr. has played a crucial role in advancing the Civil Rights Movement. A student activist in the Nashville\, Tenn.\, sit-in campaign of 1960\, and a longtime staff member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)\, LaFayette gained a reputation as a steadfast proponent of nonviolence before Martin Luther King Jr. offered him the position of program director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in 1967. \nLearn more about LaFayette’s story here and join us on Juneteenth at 6:30 p.m. for an unforgettable conversation moderated by Dr. Liana Fernandez Fox at St. James at ENCORE!® (1202 North Governor Street\, Tampa\, FL 33602). Seating is limited\, and registration is required for this free program. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. \nBefore serving on the History Center’s Board of Trustees\, Fox was a Professor of Mathematics at Hillsborough Community College for 33 years\, where she pioneered the college’s distance-learning mathematics program. While working as a professor at the University of South Florida\, Fox ensured that cross-enrolled students met their math requirements. \nThis is the first program of a new initiative by the Tampa Bay History Center in partnership with the Tampa Housing Authority to provide educational experiences in the historic St. James Episcopal Church. \nThis event is sold out.
