African Americans in Tallahassee:
The World Wars and Post-War Life
Discover the remarkable stories of Tallahassee's African American community during World War I, World War II, and the years that followed at the John G. Riley Center & Museum. Through historic photographs, artifacts, and oral histories, this exhibit highlights the courage, sacrifice, and perseverance of African Americans who served both overseas and on the home front. Explore how global conflict shaped lives in Tallahassee, strengthened communities, and laid the groundwork for the Civil Rights Movement and the pursuit of greater equality in the decades that followed.
