A Conversation with: the Alachua County Community Remembrance Project on the Digital Black Heritage Trail

Join us for an exciting panel discussion with community voices involved in preserving histories of Black placemaking, joy, and belonging in Alachua County.

Carl Smart, Alachua County Liaison, will be joined by members of the Alachua County Community Remembrance Project (ACCRP) to discuss the county's truth & reconciliation efforts, memorializing victims of racial violence during the Jim Crow era. Community leaders will discuss their involvement in the ACCRP and the co-creation of a county-wide Digital Black Heritage Trail Map and website.

Attendees will receive a free copy of the Digital Black Heritage Trail Map. The map reflects intergenerational memories of Black cultural life and heritage in Alachua County, Florida, with over 140 places of significance identified by the community during phase one of the project. This event is a must for-anyone interested in African American History and the ongoing work of truth-telling and remembrance.
