Otis R. Anthony African Americans in Florida Oral History Project

Most of these oral histories were conducted between 1977 and 1978 as part of the Black History of Tampa Project, sponsored by the Tampa Urban League and the Hillsborough County Museum, under the direction of community activist Otis R. Anthony.  In 1994, Anthony donated the collection to the USF Department of Anthropology, to support its Central Avenue Legacies Project. The Department of Anthropology conducted additional interviews, focusing primarily on Central Avenue and the Afro-Cuban community.

This is an open collection with interviews from other sources, to which more content will be added over time.

Florida Sentinel Bulletin Video Slide Show

Video Transcript

For more than 63 years the Florida Sentinel Bulletin has provided a record of daily life in Tampa Bay's African-American community. Because other newspapers in Tampa Bay rarely printed articles about the African-American community, in the early years of the publication of the Florida Sentinel Bulletin, this newspaper is often the only source for written news about this community in this period.

Throughout its history the Florida Sentinel Bulletin has covered the social, cultural, political, and religious life in Tampa Bay's African-American community and has provided particularly interesting articles on the role of women and on the community's transformation during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s.

The USF Libraries Special & Digital Collections has holdings of the Florida Sentinel Bulletin from 1946 to the present. This collection is used extensively by researchers, scholars, and historians and is available at the University of South Florida Libraries in microfilm and print formats.
