Dr. J. Michael Francis, Hough Family Chair of Florida Studies at the University of South Florida in St. Petersburg, spoke to a group of faculty and students last week in a lecture entitled “Before Jamestown: Europeans, Africans, and Indians in La Florida, 1513-1603.” His talk highlighted work he has been involved with in early Florida history and current public history projects commemorating the state’s colonization by Europeans.
Francis’s visit was sponsored by the Latin American, Caribbean and Latino Studies Program, the Summersell Center for the Study of the South, the Bankhead Fund, and the Department of History
