UCF police recruits visit Black history museum for training
ORLANDO, Fla. – As part of field training at the University of Central Florida Police Department, all recruits are now required to visit the Wells’ Built Museum of African American History and Culture.
The building on South Street in Orlando dates back to the 1920s when Dr. William Monroe Wells, one of the first doctors in Central Florida, built a hotel and casino on the site in Orlando’s historically-Black Parramore neighborhood. At the time, there were no hotels catering to Black people in Central Florida.
