Recently, Historic Eastside was added to the Florida Main Street Program - with the goal of revitalizing and encouraging economic development (within the context of historic preservation). This September, a panel of community leaders will meet in the Map Room on the fourth floor of the Main Library to discuss what this means for the historic African American community and what's next in its rich history.Register for free at bit.ly/AfricanAmericanHistoryJax
