UT senior Anisa Brown’s internship gave her an opportunity to find out more about her hometown and, at the same time, archive some family history.
As a summer intern at the Plant City Photo Archives and History Center, Brown was tasked with filling in the gaps on the city just east of Tampa. Plant City was named for Henry B. Plant — who built the Tampa Bay Hotel, which is now UT’s Plant Hall. In 1884, Plant extended the South Florida Railroad into Plant City.
While the center’s archives have plentiful photographs and history on the white community, it was lacking in the turbulent history of its black community during the time of segregation.
