BLACK HISTORY MATTERS Mural, The Woodson Museum

The community came out to celebrate a new mural in front of The Woodson African American Museum of Florida on Juneteenth, Monday, June 19.

The Woodson, in partnership with the City of St. Petersburg and the St. Petersburg Arts Alliance, led a community effort to reimagine the Black Lives Matter mural unveiled on Juneteenth 2020 in front of the museum at 2240 9th Ave. S.

“The Woodson Museum is in the moment — diversity, equity, inclusion, and history are here to stay,” said Terri Lipsey Scott, the Woodson Museum executive director. “I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, our museum will continue to work to educate others about Black history and ensure that it is preserved, presented, celebrated, and commemorated!”
