About the event
This is the first event of the two-day program. The memorial marker will be the City of West Palm Beach’s only marker of Land Acknowledgment thus far and will join a similar memorial marker of the “Freedom Tree” at Loxahatchee Battlefield in Jupiter unveiled May 20, 2023, in observance of Florida’s Emancipation Day.
The Monument has been made possible by grants from ArtLife WPB, the African American Research Library and Cultural Center of Palm Beach County, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The weekend's activities, commemorating Palm Beach County's Seminole Maroon history, are held in partnership with the City of West Palm Beach’s ArtLifeWPB and the Office of West Palm Beach Commissioner Cathleen Ward, with special support from the City of West Palm Beach Parks Department, Palm Beach County Parks, and the Florida Humanities Florida Talks Speakers Series.
