Our Lives, Our Legacies: The Hillsborough Black Experience
The goal of this online collection is to record and preserve the stories of African American residents in Hillsborough County.
This project began when the library was awarded a grant from 'StoryCorps @ your library,' a national program designed to encourage multi-format public programming on broad themes of oral narrative, local history and heritage.
