Civil Rights Exhibit Comes to Alvin Sherman Library, Feb. 1

The Museum of Florida History presents Civil Rights in the Sunshine State from February 1 to March 12 on the second floor, Cotilla Gallery at the NSU Alvin Sherman
Produced to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, this rich and engaging exhibit explores the struggle of African Americans for equality in Florida from the end of Reconstruction (1877) through the 1970s. It 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. Civil Rights in the Sunshine State is one of the first attempts to view the Florida civil rights movement through a statewide lens. From Miami to Tallahassee and St. Petersburg to St. Augustine, the Florida movement is explored at the local, state, and national levels.
