Alachua County, Florida by Lizzie PRB Jenkins Pdf

Alachua County's African American ancestry contributed significantly to the area's history. Onceenslaved pioneers Richard and Juliann Sams settled in Archer as early as 1839. They were former slaves of James M. Parchman, who journeyed through the wilderness from Parchman, Mississippi. They and others shaped the county's history through inventions, education, and work ethics based on spirituality. This book shows people working together, from the early1800s rural farm life, when racial violence was routine, until African Americans broke the chains of injustice and started organizing and controlling civic affairs.

Biohistory of Alachua County, Florida by Francis William Zettler Pdf

Biohistory includes the history of plants and animals as well as people. This fascinating biohistory of Alachua County, prehistoric to present-day, is a microcosm of the biohistory of Florida itself, told with verve and clarity like an adventure unfolding over millions of years. Alachua County sits in north central Florida, roughly halfway between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. Its rich fossil record reveals that shovel-tusked elephants, 8-ton ground sloths, giant beavers, and tiny horses once roamed the county's 969 square miles. Its human history is the story of people who arrived some 12,000 years ago after a journey that took them from Asia across the Bering land bridge and then south across the North American continent. Today, Alachua County retains its human and ecological diversity. The University of Florida in Gainesville draws students and faculty from throughout the U.S. and around the world while small towns retain their 'old Florida' ambience. Natural areas such as the limestone sinkhole called Devil's Millhopper and the vast marshy grassland that is Paynes Prairie are home to a dazzling array of flora and fauna. This fascinating 'biohistory' of Alachua County, prehistoric to present-day, is a microcosm of the history of Florida itself, told with verve and clarity like an adventure unfolding over millions of years.

We Can Do It by Michael T. Gengler Pdf

This book tells of the challenges faced by white and black school administrators, teachers, parents, and students as Alachua County, Florida, moved from segregated schools to a single, unitary school system. After Brown v. Board of Education, the South’s separate white and black schools continued under lower court opinions, provided black students could choose to go to white schools. Not until 1968 did the NAACP Legal Defense Fund convince the Supreme Court to end dual school systems. Almost fifty years later, African Americans in Alachua County remain divided over that outcome. A unique study including extensive interviews, We Can Do It asks important questions, among them: How did both races, without precedent, work together to create desegregated schools? What conflicts arose, and how were they resolved (or not)? How was the community affected? And at a time when resegregation and persistent white-black achievement gaps continue to challenge public schools, what lessons can we learn from the generation that desegregated our schools?

Florida Place Names by Allen Morris Pdf

Many names of Florida places evoke fantastic images: Caloosahatchee, Okeechobee, Loxahatchee, Everglades, Miami—to mention only a few. Did you know that Florida's places were often named to honor prominent local citizens such as postmasters, landowners, or war heroes? Jacksonville, for example, was named for Florida's first American governor, Andrew Jackson. Later the state's interest in attracting new residents produced names that suggested pleasant places to live, such as Belle Glade and Avon-by-the-Sea. From Alachua (from the Seminole for "jug") to Zolfo Springs (from the Italian for "sulphur"), Florida Place Names delights and educates with a rich and varied offering of Florida lore.
