Vibrant African-American Community in the 1920s and 1930s

This exhibit is an exploration into Carol Mundy's extensive collection of 19th- and 20th-century African-American memorabilia from the Apopka area of Central Florida. It provides a snapshot into life within the African-American business community. This collection challenges our preconceived notions of how African-American communities lived in this time period. The entrepreneurial and community spirit thrived despite oppressive conditions.
