Hopper Academy: The History and Future (A Free TableTalk Event)

Join us for an evening to talk about the history of Hopper Academy Sanford’s historic black school and local landmark, and to consider why knowing our history is an important part of mapping the future of our community. Hear stories from those who once attended Hopper, and learn its rich and challenging history.

Doors open for dinner at 5:30 PM and the event begins at 6:15 PM.

This event is hosted by Peace and Justice Institute, Seminole Improvement Association, RICHES, Sanford Museum, Georgetown Steering Team, and the City of Sanfords Race, Equality, Equity, and Inclusion Committee.

This event is sponsored by the Central Florida Foundation's TableTalk Initative.

People across Central Florida will host or take part in small group conversations to get ideas flowing about all the different ways — big and small — each of us can make Central Florida an even better place to live, work, and play.

It's an exercise in civic engagement, the strengthening of social capital, the igniting of innovative ideas - and none of it is possible without Central Floridians, just like you.
