Today, Black history can be seen and celebrated throughout the year in St. Augustine – from the downtown Plaza de la Constitucion to the beaches of Anastasia Island. But, there’s no better time to experience this rich heritage than Black History Month. Narrated tours, museums, historic sites, and concerts are just a few ways to experience the rich history of the Black experience in the Nation’s oldest city. Leading up to Black History Month, The St. Augustine Film Festival will feature the premier of Freedom on Our Mind on January 22, a film made in St. Augustine, and multiple screenings at the Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center on January 21 & 22.
