African American History
Orlando’s rich African American history and cultural influences can be found throughout Orlando, including these standout locations.
Fundada em 1887, a histórica Eatonville é uma das comunidades afro-americanas mais antigas dos EUA e a casa de infância da autora Zora Neale Hurston, que é celebrada em um museu e festival anual nomeado em sua homenagem.
Construído em 1921, o Museu Wells’Built de História e Cultura Afro-Americana começou como um hotel que atendia hóspedes afro-americanos durante a era da segregação, incluindo vários músicos famosos.
Oficialmente fundada em 1881, a Hannibal Square foi originalmente designada como a seção afro-americana de Winter Park - e se tornou o local de uma das primeiras marchas pelos direitos civis do país em 1887.
