This presentation by Nigel Rudolph explores how restoring historic African American cemeteries in Florida reclaims sacred landscapes that have been neglected or abandoned, returning dignity to those who came before us. This vital work recovers invaluable genealogical records, cultural traditions, and community stories essential to understanding Florida's complete history.
Join us at Hogtown Creek Headwaters Nature Center on the first Sunday of each month for Perspectives in the Park, a monthly program featuring experts in their field sharing information on a variety of topics including science, nature, history and art.
