A set of eight illustrated text panels tells the stories of seven documented racial terror lynchings in Duval County between 1909 and 1925 and the historical context in which they occurred. This exhibit is a spin-off of the larger MOSH exhibition, The Legacy of Lynching: Confronting Racial Terror in America which aimed to examine the country's - and Jacksonville's - uncomfortable history of lynching and its role in racial injustice.
From the MOSH website:
"An Era of Racial Terror was organized in collaboration with the Jacksonville Community Remembrance Project, an initiative of 904WARD, and is supported in part by a grant from the Community Foundation for Northeast Florida. Additional funding was provided through a grant from the Florida Humanities Council with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Special thanks to Baptist Health for additional support."
Exhibit runs March 30 through May 2, 2021
Main Library, 4th floor atrium (across from the Great Reading Room)
