About this Event

The Scrub: Histories and Stories explores the rich, layered history of Tampa’s Scrub neighborhood through memory, place, and lived experience. Led by Dr. Rodriguez, this talk examines how community, culture, and displacement shaped Tampa’s first Black neighborhood, centering the voices and stories too often left out of the historical record.
