Thank you for this! I'd never heard of Eatonville -- much less its status as a Black community and (as I'm hearing it) a safe space..
Zora Neale Hurston’s Barracoon is a book that has sat with me for a long time. It’s such an incredible but difficult look at a dark and ugly part of American history. So many lessons to be learned. Thank you for these videos.
