The Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center and the Woman’s Exchange of St. Augustine are partnering to present two exhibits! The first exhibit “ 1838-1890 : A Brief Exposé on African American History in St Augustine” presents various topics from Florida Statehood through the Post-Reconstruction Era, including a look at Fredrick Douglass’s time in St. Augustine and African American fashion post Civil War.

The Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center (LMCC) is proud to host “Education and Integration: 1955-1975,” a pop-up exhibit currently on display. The exhibit presents St. Johns County’s history of integration in public schools during the Civil Rights movement.  “Education and Integration” starts at the Brown v. Board of Education court case in 1955 highlighting the next twenty years of struggle to create equal educational opportunities for all students. The exhibit features the historic photographs of the local Black schools and student life, as well as Black educators who persevered during the transition to fully integrated schools.
