The latest is one near downtown Tampa’s Soul Walk, an African-American heritage art trail that brings the story of the city’s Black residents to the public. Two new markers set to meet the world on Thursday will recognize the historic Jackson boarding house (in disrepair, currently, and more or less begging the Acardi parking conglomerate for a little space to renovate and restore), plus The Scrub, which was once Tampa’s largest Black neighborhood.
There's no cover to take part in Soulwalk Historical Marker Dedication for The Scrub and Jackson House happening Thursday, July 13, at 11 a.m. at the Robert W. Saunders, Sr. Public Library.
