#Historical Site, #Preservation, Community Gathering Place

One of the best kept secrets in downtown Pensacola, Voices of Pensacola highlights the diversity of Pensacola and its rich multicultural history. Located at 117 E. Government Street, visitors to Voices can watch and listen to videos of individuals sharing their unique Pensacola story, and review a variety of historical documents, maps, and photographs in its research room.

We’re excited that Voices will host the 2nd Annual A Community Affair on Monday, July 31, 2017 from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Below is the flyer – thank you for sharing it with your friends! We look forward to seeing you on July 31 to hear How the Ella Jordan Home touched the lives of so many women and young girls in Pensacola.

The National Association of Colored Women’s Clubs, Inc., is the oldest African American women’s organization in America. The association was established in Washington D.C. in July, 1896. Hundreds of African American women’s clubs came together from across the U.S. with a main purpose to address some immediate and long-range issues that affected the African American communities. The City of Pensacola’s Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs, Inc., was founded in 1929 by Mrs. Ella Jordan.
