Description
The Carol E. Mundy Collection consists of hundreds of 19th- and 20th-century African-American memorabilia from the Apopk, Florida. The collection 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.
