Inaugural Soul of Southside Festival’s Afternoon of Remembrance
May 20, 2021 @ 3:00 pm
This hybrid event will offer in-person and virtual participation experiences that blend education and entertainment to explore the historic influence of Tallahassee’s Southside and its residents on the city. Hear from three esteemed scholars as they guide us through this afternoon of remembrance: Dr. Larry Rivers, Distinguished Professor of History at Florida A&M University; Dr. Tameka Hobbs, Founding Director at Florida Memorial University’s Social Justice Institute; and Dr. Tiffany Packer, Assistant Professor of History at Florida A&M University. This event will also feature a short Inaugural Soul of Southside Oral History film produced by Greater Works Network. Following the panel discussion and film, in-person participants will be invited to take a guided tour of Southside neighborhoods. Bus tours of the neighborhoods will also be available for ticketed passengers on Saturday, May 22. All events are free but require registration at sosfesttlh.com.
