2025 celebrates 125 years of Audubon in Florida. Formed to bring wading birds back from the brink of extinction, Audubon has been working for more than a century to protect birds because we know that the things birds rely on—healthy habitats, clean air, abundant fresh water, resilient coastlines—are the same things that people and other wildlife need to thrive. Birds are symbols and sentinels to measure our success, and they inspire us to work collaboratively and expansively throughout the hemisphere. In simplest terms, “what’s good for birds is good for the Earth.”

The Carrabelle History Museum is pleased to announce a special exhibit for February in honor of Black History Month, recognizing the remarkable achievements of several notable African-American individuals with ties to Carrabelle. This exhibit will be open from Wednesday, February 5 through Sunday, March 2. Visitors can explore the exhibit at the Carrabelle History Museum on Wednesdays from 12 to 5 pm ET, Thursdays through Saturdays from 10 am to 5 pm ET, and Sundays from 12 to 5 pm ET. Admission is free, with donations warmly welcomed.

The exhibit offers an inspiring journey into the lives of just a few of the extraordinary individuals who exemplify the resilience and talent of Carrabelle’s African-American community. John C. Robinson, the "Brown Condor" and "Father of the Tuskegee Airmen," overcame significant barriers to pioneer aviation achievements and contribute to Ethiopia's resistance against Mussolini’s forces. John Jordan "Buck" O’Neil, a celebrated Negro Leagues baseball star, became Major League Baseball’s first African-American scout and coach, co-founding the Negro League Baseball Museum and earning the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

The exhibit also shares the story of Abraham Allen, one of Carrabelle’s original founders, who laid a foundation for progress, while his daughter, Laura "Aunt Laura" Wiggins, became a cherished midwife, delivering babies and providing care for the community. The legacy continues with Aunt Laura's granddaughter, Classie Lowery, known as the "Mother of the Hill," who raised and educated 26 children while dedicating herself to faith and community service. The exhibit also honors the broader contributions of Carrabelle’s African-American community, highlighting their vital roles in shaping the town’s early history and culture. Visitors are invited to celebrate these remarkable lives and achievements.

The Carrabelle History Museum is located at 106 SE Avenue B, in historic downtown Carrabelle, FL. For more information, visit www.carrabellehistorymuseum.org or contact carrabellehistorymuseum@gmail.com or 850-697-2141. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.

Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting a special exhibit in recognition of Black History Month honoring Charles Henry Alston, a celebrated African American artist and activist whose impactful work during World War II mobilized the African American community. This exhibit will open Tuesday, February 4, 2025 and will be on display at the museum until Saturday, March 1. The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm and there is no charge for admission.

Charles Henry Alston (1907–1977) was an artist who used his talents to inspire change and support the US war effort. Alston was the first African American supervisor for the Works Progress Administration’s (WPA) Federal Art Project and he created the iconic bust of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., which resides in the Oval Office. During WWII he also served as a member of the Office of War Information.

During World War II, Alston created motivational posters and illustrations aimed at African American audiences, highlighting topics such as conserving resources, growing victory gardens, and supporting the war effort through unity and action. His work celebrated the accomplishments of notable African American individuals, such as Willa Brown, the first African American woman pilot in the United States, and also fostered pride within the community.

The exhibit will feature reproductions of Alston’s wartime illustrations and posters, along with details about his achievements, including promoting the arts and art education in Harlem and the US. Visitors will gain insight into how Alston’s art helped boost wartime morale and promoted African American contributions to the war effort.

Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West.
