Poster 3: Race and the Home

This poster tells the unique story of the forgotten community of Hannibal Square, a historic neighborhood lying on the West side of the railroad tracks in Winter Park. Hannibal Square was first established in 1887 by Gus Henderson (1862-1915) a strong advocate of his people, who encouraged the African-American residents to vote for Hannibal Square’s incorporation into the city of Winter Park. Thanks to the Hannibal Square Heritage Center, the history of this African American community is on display and includes historic photograph exhibits and oral histories, helping to keep the past alive. Today, this vibrant, lively and bustling part of town has preserved its historic churches, community centers, parks, and even offers opportunities for shopping and fine dining.
