Florida Black Historical Research Project, Inc. (FBHRP) invites
you to Palm Beach County, January 16-18, 2026
to commemorate the 188th Anniversary
of the Second Seminole War at Loxahatchee River Battlefield.
We will explore its connections to hemispheric marronage
in the context of America 250!
"Marronage in the Americas" is our theme as we seek to
honor Seminole Maroons who found freedom in Florida
before, during and after the signing of the Declaration of Independence,
the founding moment of the United States.
We’re hosting this 3-day celebration of maroon history,
and we’d love to see you there!
Join us for "Marronage in the Americas,"
beginning Friday, January 16, 2026 at 5:30 PM at
Historic Tabernacle Church at 801 8th Street,
West Palm Beach, FL 33401.
Activities continue on Saturday, January 17,
at 10:00 am at Historic Tabernacle Church
and Sunday, January 18, at 10:00 am
at Loxahatchee River Battlefield Park in Jupiter, FL.
REGISTER soon because space is limited.
We hope you’re able to join us!
