The Florence Indian Mound Museum is collaborating with the Alabama Chapter of the Trail of Tears Association to host a presentation series titled, “Southeastern Native Americans—Fact, Fiction, and Folktales.” The series will focus on different aspects of southeastern Native American history and culture. Presentations will be both in-person and recorded. A virtual presentation will be available Wednesday, February 22nd, 2023, at 12:00pm on the Florence Arts and Museum’s YouTube Channel.

Documentarian and Founder of History Before Us, Frederick Murphy, and Founder of Black Indians NC, Kimberly Knight, will present about their upcoming documentary, "Duality: A Collection of Afro Indigenous Perspectives." This presentation will include insightful discussion, a Q&A session with the host, and a screening of two trailers that will be exclusively shown for viewers. Join us for an engaging conversation about two diverse cultures that have an empowering yet difficult historical and present-day connection.
