Discover untold stories of Alachua County’s history with the Black History in Alachua County Lecture Series.

Before schools were integrated, Black teachers taught from two books; the official government sanctioned books and “the Other Book,” from other texts, written by Black authors about the realities of the Black experience. This first session delves into Africa before colonization, followed by lectures highlighting Alachua County’s Black history.
