Family:  A Safe Harbor During the Storms of Change

From Post-Reconstruction up to and through the Jim Crow Era, families faced tumultuous challenges from which the family home provided a welcome respite. The family home became a port in the storms of change caused by turbulent social and political situations. 

This exhibit provides insight into Gerry's family structure through mini biographies beginning with his grandmother then culminating with his generation including his siblings. Ezra’s family provided structure and unity in a time of change and uncertainty. Expect to step into the life of a typical African-American family during a challenging time in Pensacola's history.
