African Americans in the Making of Alachua County: Past, Present, and the Future
This edited volume explores the central role of African and African American people in shaping Alachua County and Florida, from Native American history and European colonization through slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and the Civil Rights era. Drawing on scholarship from the Alachua County Bicentennial Symposium, the book blends historical research, community memory, and calls for truth, reconciliation, and a more just future.
