Please join Florence Arts and Museums and community members coordinated by Ms. Anita Smith Cobb for a presentation on the history of North Florence on Sunday, July 13th from 2:00-3:00 pm at the Coach Harvest Mitchell Gymnasium at Burrell Slater School, 610 West College Street. A group of African American citizens from different North Florence neighborhoods have collaborated with Florence Arts and Museums to record their history. Interviews, photographs, newspaper clippings, art and memories tell the story of these neighborhoods, which include Woodland Road; Chisholm Drive; Napier Heights; and Norwood Park. The project is compiled into an hour-long presentation. This presentation follows Ms. Anita Smith Cobb’s completion of the “East End” and “Stewart Spring” projects, the latter of which is available on our website, www.florencealmuseums.com. 

This program is sponsored by the City of Florence Department of Arts and Museums and the Alabama Humanities Alliance. This event will be free to the public. Call 256-760-6379 for more information.
