Florida Conversations: Tracing Florida Journeys

Dr. Leslie Poole explored Florida's history through the eyes of explorers and travelers during "Tracing Florida Journeys," part of the Florida Conversations series held on March 19. Covering periods from colonial times to the 20th century, Dr. Poole's presentation highlighted how Florida’s landscape and people's perceptions have transformed over time. The event encouraged audiences to consider the state's evolving natural history and inspired them to embark on personal explorations. This free event was sponsored by USF Libraries, WUSF Public Media, AARP Tampa Bay, Shelley Blood, and the Lorenzo Molay Family, and was part of the Florida Humanities Center for the Book 2024-2025 series.
