That transformation was made by families that had been enslaved, families that held slaves, and free people whose lives created a new city on Florida’s “First Coast.” Jacksonville today is a city with a rich tapestry of industry, tourism, service, and a naval installation as large as any in the United States. The transformation of the mouth of the St. Johns River and the marshlands of the sea islands of Georgia and Florida to a thriving metropolis is clearly seen in this study of the Kingsley Plantation. The Kingsley Plan- tation is important as a place were people lived and worked in Florida, as well as a place in Florida’s history. As this report.

THE ATLANTIC MIND: ZEPHANIAH KINGSLEY, SLAVERY, AND THE POLITICS OF RACE IN THE ATLANTIC WORLD by MARK J. FLESZAR Under the Direction of Dr. Jared Poley and Dr. H. Robert Baker ABSTRACT Enlightenment philosophers had long feared the effects of crisscrossing boundaries, both real and imagined. Such fears were based on what they considered a brutal ocean space frequented by protean shape-shifters with a dogma of ruthless exploitation and profit. This intellectual study outlines the formation and fragmentation of a fluctuating worldview as experienced through the circum-Atlantic life and travels of merchant, slaveowner, and slave trader Zephaniah Kingsley during the Era of Revolution. It argues that the process began from experiencing the costs of loyalty to the idea of the British Crown and was tempered by the pervasiveness of violence, mobility, anxiety, and adaptation found in the booming Atlantic markets of the Caribbean during the Haitian Revolution.

The trend began in 1964, when ABC produced the sitcom The Addams Family (1964-66), based on works of cartoonist Charles Addams, and CBS countered with its own The Munsters (CBS, 1964-66) –both satirical inversions of the American ideal sitcom family in which various monsters and freaks from Gothic literature and classic horror films form a family of misfits that somehow thrive in middle-class, suburban America.

    Project Archaeology: Investigating Shelter Series # 12 Investigating a Tabby Slave Cabin Investigating a Tabby Slave Cabin Instructions for the Teacher Written by Pam James, NPS Teacher-Ranger-Teacher Mary Mott, NPS Teacher-Ranger-Teacher Dawn Baker, NPS Teacher-Ranger-Teacher With Contributions from National Park Service – Kingsley Plantation Amber Grafft-Weiss and Sarah Miller – Florida Public Archaeology Network Dr. James Davidson – University of Florida 1 | Page Investigating a Slave Cabin Background Information In order to understand the history of the United States of America it is important to understand the period of time when slavery existed. Slavery was filled with incidents of brutality, punctuated here and there by moments when individuals reached across the barriers of race, gender and class to be decent to each other. Kingsley Plantation offers the opportunity to encounter this doubled-faced reality in the complex lives of Anta Majigeen Ndiaye (Anna Kingsley) and Zephaniah Kingsley. During Florida’s colonial plantation period (1763-1865), Fort George Island was owned by many planters. The site name comes from one of those owners, Zephaniah Kingsley. In 1814, Kingsley moved to Fort George Island with his wife and three children (a fourth child would be born at this plantation). His wife, Anta Majigeen Ndiaye, was from Senegal, Africa and was purchased by Kingsley as a slave in 1806. She actively participated in plantation management, acquiring her own land and slaves when she was freed by Kingsley in 1811. This account reveals an often hidden fact that some slave owners married their slaves, and that some former slaves in America went on to own slaves.

    Jacksonville and Surrounding Area Guide to Venues and Activities Southern Sociological Society 2020 Annual Meeting Hyatt Regency Riverfront --- Jacksonville, FL April 1 - 4, 2020 Jacksonville, Florida has moved along the same path sociologists are familiar with: flight from a once vibrant downtown and now a revitalization of downtown. And the revitalization is going strong. The SSS conference is in downtown Jacksonville, right on the St. Johns River and close to many great venues and activities. This guide offers a sampling of what you can do if you stay downtown, walk or rideshare to bordering neighborhoods, or drive to the surrounding towns. Downtown and the Urban Core Downtown is part of what locals call the Urban Core-- downtown plus the surrounding neighborhoods of Historic Springfield, San Marco, Riverside/Avondale, and Brooklyn. There is so much to do in the Urban Core that you really don’t even need a car. This diverse area has walkable access to many eateries, cultural outlets and activities. Informational Sites -- https://downtownjacksonville.org -- https://www.thejaxsonmag.com -- http://www.visitjacksonville.com -- http://www.sparcouncil.org -- https://onjacksonville.com -- https://thecoastal.com Local Transportation In addition to taxi cabs and Uber and Lyft providing ride sharing service, the City has several mass transit services.
