Abstract
From June 2020 to February 2022, a group of cultural and academic institutions in St. Augustine, Florida worked together to develop and facilitate the “Resilience: Black Heritage St. Augustine” project. This year-long collaboration aimed to bring together the many threads of Black history interwoven into the city. In this chapter, the authors explore the successes and challenges of developing a broad collaborative project, drawing attention to successful community engagement strategies and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the project. The chapter offers an exploration of the white and European-centered narratives embedded in the interpretation of St. Augustine's history and the ways in which the resilience project combats these narratives and articulates a commitment to diversified and inclusive collections, language, and storytelling.
