Black History Book Club

We are excited to announce the launch of the Black History Book Club at Tampa's Black History Museum Starting Monday, Feb. 28, 2025, this initiative promises to be a beacon of knowledge, reflection, and community engagement in the heart of Tampa Bay.

The club’s sessions will be held from 5:30 to 6:45 p.m. at the charming Tampa's Black History Museum at 1213 Central Ave.. These enriching discussions will occur on the last Monday of February, April, June, August, and October, and the second Monday in December 2025.

Slice of History

Mark your calendars for July 3, 6-8 p.m., because the History Center’s Crow's Nest is daring to blend free pizza with, wait for it… history. Once you’re stuffed, stagger over to the “Invisible Immigrants” exhibit. You’ll marvel at artifacts and trivia that will have you saying, "wait, that actually happened?"—as if pizza wasn’t thrilling enough.

Slice of History is for young adults 18-30 seeking enlightenment (or just free food). 

Admission’s free, but sign up first. 

Bring cash for drinks; apparently, history isn’t hydrating enough.
