Imagining Florida: The Place We Call Home
2016
In Spring 2016, a Gainesville-wide speaker series will invite Florida residents from all backgrounds to share their stories about making Florida home.
Imagining Florida is a five-part series of lectures and discussions from January-April 2016. Talk writing with Gainesville author Lauren Groff at the ACLD Headquarters Branch Library. Unpeel the history of Florida citrus with Gary Mormino at the Matheson History Museum. Feast your eyes on African-Floridian art with Robin Poynor and Patricia Hilliard-Nunn at Santa Fe College. And dust off treasured artifacts from famous Floridians with curators from the UF Smathers Libraries.
