The Plant City Photo Archives and History Center recently was awarded a set of four films chronicling the history of the civil rights movement.
The films together are titled, “Created Equal: America’s Civil Rights Struggle,” and were selected for this program by The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History with support from the National Endowment for Humanities.
The photo archives is partnering with community organizations to offer screenings and presentations that will begin in January 2014.
The programs will take place at the Plant City Photo Archives and History Center, the Hillsborough Community College’s Plant City Campus, the Improvement League’s Bing Rooming House African-American Museum, Bruton Memorial Library, Bealsville Recreation Center and Union Station. Additional support for the community programs is provided by a grant from the Florida Humanities Council.
