Meek-Eaton Black Archives Research Center & Museum
"African-American History is the History of America." - James N. Eaton, Founder
About The Black Archives
In 1971, the Florida Legislature mandated the creation of a repository to “serve the state by collecting and preserving source material on and about African Americans from ancient to present times.” This mandate gave birth to what would later become the Black Archives. Delve into our history, heritage and the visionaries who laid the foundation for the creation of the Meek-Eaton Black Archives Research Center and Museum.
