Eatonville, Florida: America’s Oldest Black Town Is Fighting for Its Future
Eatonville, Florida is the oldest self-governing Black municipality in the United States.

Today, Eatonville is at risk of losing more than 100 acres of historically Black-owned land. This video shares the voices of local activists and historians working to ensure the community has a say in what happens next.
