ABOUT US
The Florida Museum of Black History is more than a cultural landmark — it is a living tribute to the resilience, creativity, and contributions of Black Floridians across more than 450 years of history. Rooted in the historic city of St. Augustine, the Museum will preserve stories that have shaped not only Florida but the entire nation, from early settlement through the Civil Rights Movement and beyond. Our work brings together education, remembrance, and celebration, ensuring that future generations have a place to see themselves reflected and to learn from the past.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a world-class museum that honors the depth and richness of Black history in Florida. We are dedicated to documenting the struggles and triumphs that define this history, while providing opportunities for education, dialogue, and connection. Through exhibitions, community engagement, and partnerships with schools, universities, and organizations, the Museum seeks to inspire pride, promote understanding, and empower individuals to carry forward the legacy of justice, equality, and cultural achievement.
Our Vision
The Florida Museum of Black History stands as a beacon of truth, unity, and inspiration for all. It is a space where history is preserved with dignity, where culture is celebrated with joy, and where communities come together to learn and grow. Our vision extends beyond the walls of the Museum: sparking curiosity, building bridges of understanding, and ensuring that the story of Black Floridians is not only remembered but embraced as an essential part of our shared history and future.
History is not just the past — it is the foundation we stand on and the path we carry forward.
