The Other Book Part 2
with Dr. Rik Stevenson and the Alachua County Community Remembrance Project
April 11
10am-12pm
Before schools were integrated, Black teachers taught from two books… the official book sanctioned by the segregated school boards, and the other book; teaching the truth about Black history. This lecture series will begin to fill in our history that has been "white washed", discussing contributions of Black Americans to our country.
Lectures will be held the second Saturday of each month from 10am to 12pm, January 2026 through April 2026. All sessions at the Matheson History Museum, 513 E. University Ave, Gainesville. Suggested donation is $5.00 per class. Registering helps us plan, but is not required. All are invited to attend.
