Vincent Adejumo of the African American Studies Program at the University of Florida examines Rosewood, a predominantly black Florida community destroyed in 1923 during a racially motivated attack, and other majority-black cities in Florida, within the context of group economics and how that tradition among African Americans was destroyed.
The Brechner Speaker Series honors the late Joseph L. Brechner, a longtime journalist, Central Florida community leader, and television pioneer who is also remembered as one of Orlando’s first clear public voices for civil rights.
