  • 1870 to 1914: 150 Years of the Seminole Negro Indian Scouts

Parade

10:00 AM - Carver School Grounds
This year, our program speaker is Dr. Rosalyn Howard. We are delighted that she has agreed to speak again this year. Last year, she was a special guest lecturer for our Saturday Afternoon Lecture Series.

Biography from UCF page: Professor Rosalyn Howard was an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Central Florida (UCF). She specializes in Cultural Anthropology and her primary area of research is ethnohistorical studies of the African Diaspora with a focus on the interrelationships formed by African and Indigenous peoples in the Americas and the Caribbean. Dr. Howard has conducted extensive research among mixed Native-African populations in The Bahamas and Bermuda. Among her publications is the book entitled Black Seminoles in the Bahamas, an ethnographic study of the Black Seminole descendant community of Red Bays, Andros Island, Bahamas.
Dr. Howard is also a member of a public anthropology research project entitled “Looking for Angola” currently compiling archaeological, cultural, and archival evidence of an early 19th century Florida maroon community, formerly located near present-day Sarasota, Florida, which has a direct connection to Red Bays (www.lookingforangola.org). Prof. Howard is also a consultant to the Cultural Heritage tourism project (co-sponsored by the State of Florida and The Bahamas Ministries of Culture and Tourism) that connects the Red Bays community to the Gullah corridor of South Carolina and Georgia, and Fort Mose near St. Augustine, Florida.
Dr. Howard’s interest in exploring state-of-the-art pedagogy led to her participation in a distance education project exploring the peoples and cultures of South Africa and Swaziland in 2010. During summer 2011, Prof. Howard participated in a Fulbright-Hays grant project exploring cultural, educational and democractic issues in Botswana.
