Beaches, Benches and Boycotts: The Civil Rights Movement in Tampa Bay
When: Now – Oct. 30, 2019
Where: 55 5th Street South
St. Petersburg, FL 33701
Info: The focus of most Civil Rights history is written about places like Alabama and Mississippi, as if few challenges occurred elsewhere. Tampa Bay remained racially segregated at the dawn of the Civil Rights era and many local institutions and establishments held out on integration for several years after Brown v. the Board of Education and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Under "Jim Crow" every aspect of African American life in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota and their surrounding cities was segregated. Restricted covenants were in place that segregated residential neighborhoods. African American children had to attend segregated schools that were under-funded and often in disrepair. Blacks could only be cared for at "Black only" hospitals, and other public and private establishments like restaurants and beaches were often segregated – if blacks were allowed in at all.

The Civil Rights Movement in Tampa Bay may have had characteristics similar to other areas of the South but its stories are its own. This exhibition will illuminate our region's struggle with racial equality and shine a light on the local leaders who changed our cities.

The Florida Holocaust Museum is excited to announce that public docent-led tours of "Beaches, Benches, and Boycotts: The Civil Rights Movement in Tampa Bay" are offered on various days throughout the week and are included in the admission price.

??‍♀️??‍♀️Looking for a great spot to meet up with friends to watch the latest sport game? Well, I have found the perfect spot. Courtside Grille, located in St. Petersburg.

Courtside Grille is an upscale sports restaurant offering an extremely wide variety of food selections including the traditional burgers, wings and fries plus tons of appetizer selections and EVEN sushi!!? Check out their menu HERE. They also cater events to keep them in mind for your next planned gathering and leave the cooking to them.
