FLORIDA HERITAGE TOURISM: THE READ OUT
“My discussion of TIMU is situated within the context of the history of segregation in Florida. Until the passage of the Civil Rights bill in 1964, for example, life for African Americans in Florida—whether living on Fort George Island or elsewhere in the greater Jacksonville area—was in many ways an extension of the restrictive dictates of slavery and plantation life. In other words, second-class citizenship was pro forma.“ ~ Antoinette Jackson, Heritage, Tourism, and Race: The Other Side of Leisure
