Exhibit Opening

Friday, March 15, at 6pm

Join the Amelia Island Museum of History on the evening of Friday, March 15th for the opening of the museum’s newest temporary exhibit— Make Your Voice Heard! Fernandina’s Fight for Voting Rights. This exhibit takes a look at Fernandina’s unique role in the fight for equal voting rights after the Civil War and highlights some of the extraordinary Fernandinans who protested, campaigned, and rallied to make their voices heard. This exhibit was researched and developed by a team of Fernandina Beach High School students. Joining us for a special presentation will be Dr. Robert Cassanello from the University of Central Florida, who will speak about his research into Black voting and advocacy in Northeast Florida. Attendees will have the opportunity to be the first visitors to see this new exhibit, so please join us on March 15th!

Attendance is free for members and a suggested donation of $5 for nonmembers. Seating is limited on a first come, first served basis. This program is wheelchair accessible.
