Black History Month
Join us for a look at some Museum of Florida History Artifacts
February is Black History Month, so to commemorate the occasion we sat down with Museum of Florida History Senior Curator Kimberlyn Elliot to chat about some of the artifacts in the collection that shine light on the role Black Floridians have played in a variety of aspects of the state's history.
