Join us for a member-exclusive virtual launch of Florida Humanities’ Suncoast Walking Tours, sponsored by the Sarasota Community Foundation and Barancik Foundation. We invite you to explore the rich histories, cultural legacies, and enduring resilience of the communities of Manatee and Sarasota.

This interactive online event will feature a dynamic conversation with Florida Humanities Executive Director Nashid Madyun, in dialogue with Tangy Wilder, Chief Operations Officer, and Carlos Wilder, Chief Executive Officer of CTW Broadcasting, who will share insights into the vision, development, and community impact of the Florida Stories Walking Tours initiative. Together, they will reflect on the importance of storytelling, cultural preservation, and public humanities in documenting the lived experiences of coastal communities.

Whether you are a lifelong resident, a newcomer, or simply curious about Florida’s coastal heritage, this virtual launch offers a meaningful opportunity to connect with the past, better understand the present, and envision the future of communities navigating an ever-changing coastal landscape.
