Washing Away History: Changing Tides at Fort Mose

Time: 5:30 pm til 6:30 pm

Location: Zoom Webinar

Description: More than 250 years ago, Fort Mose in St. Augustine, Florida, became the first legally sanctioned free Black town in the present-day United States. Now a Historic State Park, it is a critically significant site for Black American history.
This virtual panel event, second in a two-part series, will explore past and present archaeological discoveries at the park and how environmental factors, in particular sea level rise, affect our future understanding of the past at Fort Mose and around the City of St. Augustine.

Panelists include:
Dr. Kathleen Deagan, University of Florida's Florida Museum of Natural History
Dr. Lori Lee, Flagler College
Sarah Miller, FPAN
Thomas Jackson, Fort Mose Historical Society

This virtual event is brought to you by the George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida and the Lincolnville Cultural Center and Museum. This event is part of the Resilience: Black History in St. Augustine collaborative project.
