โThe Harlem of the South,โ other glimpses of Jacksonvilleโs past
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ As part of Black History Month, News4Jax has shared local stories about the Civil Rights movement, segregation, Black leaders and Black-owned businesses in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. Black history is all of our history, and News4Jax is committed to bringing you stories about our diverse communities beyond February. You might not know the area was once its own city and was a very prosperous area for members of Jacksonvilleโs African-American community. โA lot goes into teaching Black history. โThat Black history is American history.
