SUMMARY:Remembering Paradise Park at West Hernando Branch Library
LOCATION:6335 Blackbird Avenue, Brooksville, FL 34613
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Step back into a little-known chapter of Florida history with a fascinating
  presentation by historian Lu Vickers. In 1949, during the Jim Crow era, th
 e owners of Silver Springs State Park created a separate attraction for Afr
 ican American visitors called Paradise Park for Colored People. Managed by 
 former glass-bottom boat captain Eddie Vereen, the park operated from 1949 
 to 1969 and became a beloved destination for Black travelers during a time 
 of segregation. Drawing from her book Remembering Paradise Park: Tourism an
 d Segregation at Silver Springs, Lu Vickers explores the park’s history, th
 e people who made it special, and its lasting impact on Florida’s tourism i
 ndustry. Join us to learn about this remarkable story of resilience, commun
 ity, and an often-overlooked piece of our state’s past. Presenter: Dr. Luci
 nda Vickers
