Collection Corner Since January 2013, Meredith Kambic, University of South Florida graduate intern, has accessioned numerous photographs and materials in the archives. Her last project is an interim exhibit on schools in Tarpon Springs with a focus on the “50th Anniversary of Integration in Tarpon Springs Schools.” Prior to 1963, African-American students had to travel to Clearwater to attend High School. At one time many of those students would ride the train from the Tarpon Springs Atlantic Coast Line Depot Station to Clearwater to go to school. The younger black elementary and middle school students attended the local Union Academy for 1st through 8th grade. Ms. Kambic has created an excellent exhibit through research of documents and old news articles to tell this historic period in Tarpon Springs’ history |
