Stewart Spring: The Story of a Lost Community

  • Florence Arts and Museums 217 East Tuscaloosa Street Florence, AL, 35630 United States (map)

Please join Florence Arts and Museums and community members coordinated by Ms. Anita Smith Cobb for a presentation on the history of the Stewart Spring neighborhood on Sunday, September 29th from 2:30-4:30 pm at the Coach Harvest Mitchell Gymnasium at Burrell Slater School, 610 West College Street. A group of African American citizens who formerly resided in Stewart Spring have collaborated with Florence Arts and Museums to record the history of this black community which no longer exists. Interviews, photographs, newspaper clippings, art and memories tell the story of the neighborhood, which is compiled into two 40-minute video presentations.

This program is sponsored by the City of Florence Department of Arts and Museums and is free to the public. Call 256-760-6379 for more information.
