History is under attack. Monuments glorifying southern secessionists are being restored. Military bases are being renamed for Confederate leaders. And Florida students are being taught that slavery offered “benefits” to the enslaved.How do we fight back against a sanitized, politicized past?
Join WMNF WaveMakers Live on February 10 at The Commodore in Ybor City for a hard-hitting conversation on the future of history with two of Florida’s most respected historians:
Ray Arsenault, whose research on the Freedom Riders inspired a Peabody Award-winning documentary
Gary Mormino, author of the definitive history of Ybor City and an award-winning history of modern Florida
History isn’t always comfortable, but it’s too important to leave to politics. Come hear how we can confront the past honestly, preserve its lessons, and protect the stories that define our communities.
🎟️ Tickets: $10 in advance, $15 at the door
Don’t miss this timely, urgent conversation, because the future of history depends on us.
