Threads is an interactive mapping project built in collaboration between Broward County Transit (BCT) and the African American Research Library and Cultural Center (AARLCC).
Discover Broward County's Black History with Threads! Threads Interactive Map on Broward's Black History is an interactive mapping project built in collaboration between Broward County Transit (BCT) and the African American Research Library and Cultural Center (AARLCC). The selected historical landmarks include schools, places of worship, social establishments, and homes owned/established by prominent Black pioneers who significantly contributed to Broward County since the early 1900s. This bus will allow participants a chance to explore a few sites included on the Threads app.
The landmarks and locations marked on this map represent the interwoven history of Broward County. They reveal the authentic stories of African American and Black Bahamian experiences in a segregated South Florida, highlighting the deep connections between them. Like threads, these landmarks weave together a rich historical tapestry.
