The art gallery of the African-American Research Library and Cultural Center is celebrating its 8th anniversary . . . so join the celebration and visit our new exhibit. Free refreshments will be served at a reception on Saturday, August 28 beginning at 2 p.m.

 

The exhibit documents the contributions of African-Americans in Florida from the Colonial era to the civil rights era, covering the topics of slavery, anti-black violence, education, black Seminoles, the black church and the blacks’ influence in developing Florida.

 

 

Historian and author Dr. Marvin Dunn will give a lecture on his background, research and the exhibit at the reception. Dr. Dunn currently serves as a scholar in residence for Camillus House of Miami and historical researcher in Rosewood, Fla. Throughout his career, he has worked for change and social justice.

 

A retired assistant professor of psychology and former chairperson of the Department of Psychology at Florida International University, Dr. Dunn is the author of “Black Miami in the Twentieth Century,” published in 1997. In 1989, he was named Educator of the Year by the Florida Civil Rights Commission. Dr. Dunn earned a master’s degree in education administration and supervision in 1965 from Roosevelt University in Chicago and a doctorate in psychology from the University of Tennessee in 1972.
