Florida Black Heritage Trail

Some description 
Trinity Wesleyan Methodist Church Key West, Florida

In 1990, the Florida legislature created the Study Commission on African-American History in Florida to increase public awareness of African Americans contributions to the state. The commission was asked to recommend methods to establish a "Heritage Trail" to identify sites, buildings and other points of interest in black history that should be preserved and promoted as tourist attractions.

The first edition of the Florida Black Heritage Trail, published in 1991, was a product of the commission, the Florida Division of Historical Resources and the many citizens who assisted in developing the book. The Florida Black Heritage Trail is a microcosm of African-American landmarks and legacies that exist in various Florida locations.
