LaVilla Museum
The LaVilla Museum is a museum of African American history and culture located in the 1929 Ritz Theater in Jacksonville, Florida. The museum opened in 1999.〔(Bull, Roger. "Ritz Theatre Celebrates 10 Years Back in Business in LaVilla." ) ''Florida Times-Union.'' September 14, 2009. Accessed 2012-03-03.〕
The museum documents the culture and history of people of African descent (most slaves, some free, and not all Americans) in northeast Florida prior to that territory's entry as a U.S. state in 1845, as well as LaVilla neighborhood of downtown Jacksonville (which was once a large and thriving African American community).〔Carbone, Marisa. ''Insiders' Guide to Jacksonville.'' Guilford, Con..: Globe Pequot Press, 2003, p. 101.〕 LaVilla was home to so many poets, artists, musicians, authors, and playwrights that it was known as "the Harlem of the South".〔Hurst, Rodney L. ''It Was Never About a Hot Dog and a Coke!: A Personal Account of the 1960 Sit-In Demonstrations in Jacksonville, Florida and Ax Handle Saturday.'' Livermore, Calif.: WingSpan Press, 2008, p. 16.〕 The Ritz Theatre is one of the few remaining buildings in the LaVilla neighborhood.〔Cobb, Jr., Charles E. ''On the Road to Freedom: A Guided Tour of the Civil Rights Trail.'' Chapel Hill, N.C.: Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, 2008, p. 353.〕 Although most of the 600-seat theatre was razed in the 1990s, the northwest corner is original to the building.〔Abravanel, Lesley and Miller, Laura Lea. ''Frommer's Florida 2010.'' Hoboken, N.J.: Wiley Publishing, 2009, p. 554.〕
The highlight of the museum tour are two animatronic representations of James Weldon Johnson and J. Rosamond Johnson, LaVilla natives who composed the famous American Civil Rights Movement song, ''Lift Every Voice and Sing''.〔Carrier, Jim. ''A Traveler's Guide to the Civil Rights Movement.'' Orlando, Fla.: Harcourt, 2004, p. 191.〕 Rooms in the building evoke African American life throughout the 20th century by recreating a typical home living room, a Christian church, a barber shop, and a school room.〔
