"Chronicles the story of the city's growth from a frontier community into a modern Southern metropolis"--Back cover.

This book covers the civil rights movement in Tallahassee, Florida during the 1950s and 1960s.

Tallahassee is the capital of the U.S. state of Florida and is located in the north of the state, near the border with Georgia. The city has a population of about 200,000 people and is known for its rich history, beautiful parks, and vibrant arts scene. Tallahassee has a long and interesting history dating back to pre-Columbian times when it was settled by various Native American tribes. The city was founded in 1824 and quickly became an important commercial center in Florida. During the American Civil War, Tallahassee was an important supply point for the Confederate Army and was besieged twice by Union troops, but was successfully defended. In the decades following the Civil War, Tallahassee experienced growth, especially after Florida was named the railroad capital of the South in 1905. The city also became an important educational location when Florida State University and Florida A&M University were founded. During the civil rights movement of the 1950s and '60s, Tallahassee played an important role, as it was one of the first cities in Florida to end racial segregation in public institutions. Today, Tallahassee is a thriving city with a rich history that is honored in various museums and monuments throughout the area. Visitors can visit the Museum of Florida History to learn about the state's history, or visit the Tallahassee Historic District to see restored 19th-century buildings. Tallahassee also hosts regular events and festivals, including the Tallahassee Film Festival, Springtime Tallahassee Festival, and the Southern Shakespeare Festival.

This book will impart to the readers and many Tallahassee City employees the historical practices of discrimination exercised against blacks and other minorities by the Municipal government of the City of Tallahassee, Florida. City staff ignored blatant and flagrant practice of denying blacks and other minorities the opportunities for raises and bonuses, promotions, withholding of vacancy lists from black applicants and the steering and/or channeling of black applicants to low paying jobs. Romans 12:10, "Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor." The City of Tallahassee was engaged in the practice of discriminating against blacks and other minorities long before the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In April of 1975, a group of Civil Rights Activists came together and filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for The Northern District of Florida. The case was filed against the City Commission and its members, the City Manager, and his successors in office. Therefore, an overseer must be above reproach, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable and able to teach. 1 Timothy 4:10 says, "For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe." The City of Tallahassee engaged in the practice of hiring Administrators who would do anything asked of them to carry out the racist and bigot practices of the City of Tallahassee's Leadership. Often when blacks were hired, they were not provided the staffing or the equipment to get the job done in a professional manner. My advice to all current and future employees: stay the course and in all your ways honor and obey God's word and he shall give his angels charge over you to keep you safe from your evil doers. Hebrews 13:6 declares, "So that we may boldly say, the Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me." During my employment with the City of Tallahassee, the wrongdoers who intentionally brought many storms into my life, the Lord let me witness the consequence of their wickedness. They were shackled and handcuffed and led to court. Deuteronomy 31:8 states, "And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee, fear not, neither be dismayed."

Hope you are having as nice weather as we are. It and the people are grand. Tourists enjoying their Florida vacation might have written that message. Perhaps an elected official at the state capitol during a legislative session penned the sentiment. Maybe a student attending one of Tallahassees several colleges intended to reassure anxious parents back home. Written on a postcard from Tallahassee in 1908, the words, whatever their purpose, still hold true.
