Honoring Black Heritage
The Alachua County Digital Black Heritage Trail Map and website highlight the Black community’s cultural significance to counter the systematic century-long effort to erase black culture beginning during the Jim Crow era. Demonstrating the importance of Black place-making and institution-building, the map reflects the intergenerational memories of Black culture. With more than 140 historical places of significance already identified during phase one of the project, the trail celebrates the resilience of the County’s Black communities.
