What's New at The Jessie
Black History Month at The Jessie
It’s Black History Month, the perfect time to learn about some of our Jacksonville legends, past and present, as featured on our mosaics! From literature to civil rights, each mosaic shows two trailblazers in the same field, highlighting impact from the early 1900s through today. Stop by our mosaics on E. Forsyth street and learn about these trailblazers:
• Eartha M.M. White and Dr. Johnnetta Betsch Cole
• Rutledge Pearson and Rodney Hurst, Sr
• Zora Neale Hurston and Ebony Payne English
