Bicentennial Highlights History of Florida, Escambia County

6:48 A series of events and activities will take place over the next few months, as part of the 200th anniversary of Florida becoming a U.S. Territory and Escambia County becoming one of its two original counties. Organizers plan to use the occasion to share more details about this often-overlooked period in the area’s rich history. “Let’s put it this way, when I tell people that we’re going to celebrate our 200th anniversary, they look at me. They have no clue what I’m talking about,” said Dr. Judy Bense, chair of the Bicentennial Commission for Escambia County and the City of Pensacola.

UWF Launches My Story Griot Project

The new initiative is the “My Story Griot Project.” “We’re still going and moving, and moving well and moving strong,” said Mamie Webb Hixon, assistant professor of English and director of the UWF Writing Lab, discussing the momentum of the CASSH workgroup on Race. CASSH stands for the College of Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities. Hixon says their work began last summer at the request of the college’s Dean, Dr. Steven Brown. “He thought it would be a great idea for us to come together and talk about ways to ensure that our students are feeling comfortable on campus with regard to race and reconciliation, with regard to race, ethnicity and belonging,” Hixon said. “Thus, the full title of our committee is the CASSH Workgroup on Race, Ethnicity and Belonging.”
