1940208161940. African American Education Now known as Florida Memorial University Florida Normal & Industrial Institute is a product of two all Black Baptist institutes eventually becoming an accredited University offering 41 undergraduate degree programs. This set of two black and white photographs showcases the university during one of their renaissance periods in the 1940s. One is an 8" x 10" silver gelatin photograph featuring a football team of 13 boys alongside their coach who dons a fedora and pinstriped suit. The second photograph is a 3.5" x 5.5" real photo post card and shows one of the main class buildings at their location in St. Augustine which was formerly a plantation built by enslaved Black persons. In 1918 the junior college controversially moved onto the "Old Hanson Plantation". This act of reclaiming buildings once meant to oppress African Americans was now being turned into the four year institution it is today. The advent of civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s brought about a whirlwind of challenges and change to St. Augustine. When local African Americans decided to protest and resist segregation in the city students from Florida Memorial joined the effort participating in sit-ins wade-ins and swim-ins orchestrated by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The events in St. Augustine significantly influenced federal legislation resulting in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Some minor edge wear and corner creasing a few pin holes to the corners of the larger photo. Overall in very good condition. This set of photographs is a testament to the success of Black Americans given the proper resources and opportunities for higher education. unknown

1858361605Tallahassee FL: Office of the Floridian & Journal Printed by Jones & Dyke 1858. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. With most of the legislature's time taken up with questions of infrastructure particularly the Florida railroad Governor Madision S. Perry uses his annual address to warn of coming conflict with the north and to encourage the spread of slavery. This is a nicely-bound volume of the daily legislative log and the accompanying state office reports. The session ran from November 22 1858 to January 15 1859.<br/> <br/> In his prescient call for funding a militia an action that the legislature does not appear to have discussed seriously Gov. Perry warns that "the late elections in the non-slaveholding States forebode no good to us in the South. He would be a false sentinel who under the present aspect of affairs would cry peace" pp. 27–28. He then observes that many White Floridians are ambivalent about slavery and he encourages the legislature to make changes in the law to encourage slaveholding another action the lawmakers seem to have not spent much time on.<br/> <br/> Another subject that Perry devotes time to is the forcible removal of Native Americans from Florida. After twenty years of conflict the federal government had recently declared victory and ended the war. Both the governor and the legislature make appeals in this document to continue the effort until all the Seminoles and other tribes are gone from the state.<br/> <br/> 456 journal 70 reports pages.

Contents heavily foxed; title page laid down on paper; some loss to the margins; fifth gathering duplicated in error; corner loss to final leaves of the reports section with no loss of text.
