Tallahassee Florida

The African-American community in Tallahassee from the late 1800s to the 1960s was characterized by a persevering spirit, a strong work ethic, and a love for home, family, and community. During that long period of racial inequity, this same community set about developing its own institutions and activities, from Florida AM University to the annual Emancipation Proclamation festival, and what emerged was a rich cultural life that produced and attracted some of the best and brightest minds.Barnes, Althemese is the author of 'Tallahassee Florida', published 2000 under ISBN 9780738505510 and ISBN 073850551X.
