PRINCETON PRIZE IN RACE RELATIONS AWARDS CEREMONY
Princeton Prize; South Florida Princeton University Alumni Chapter
Miami, Florida
May 29, 2024
The South Florida Princeton University Alumni Chapter hosted the local Princeton Prize in Race Relations Awards Ceremony at the home of the Chapter President, where I received the "South Florida Regional Certificate of Accomplishment Award" for my "Teach the Truth Tour with Dr. Marvin Dunn: Learning From The Acts Of Racial Terror In Florida’s Black History” documentary film. In attendance were members of the South Florida Princeton University Alumni Chapter, my parents - Moraly Arroyo and Jay Jefferson - and my school's administrators - Judge Wendell Graham, Gia Maxwell, and Webber Charles - from Ransom Everglades Upper School.
I was honored to receive the award for my film, which documents the inaugural two-day tour in 2023 led by Dr. Dunn to sites in North Florida, where numerous acts of racial terror - the bombing of Harry T. and Harriette V. Moore, the Newberry Lynchings of 1916, and others - were committed against Blacks throughout the state’s history. The tour concluded with a 100th-year anniversary ceremony in remembrance of the victims of the infamous Rosewood Massacre, which was held on the five-acre property of Dr. Dunn - the only Black person who currently owns land in Rosewood, Florida.
Dr. Dunn describes the “Teach the Truth” tour as a direct response to the attempt by politicians in Florida to legislate a ban on the teaching of Black History to public school students throughout the state. My documentary was produced to help ensure that the racial terror experienced by Black Floridians throughout the state's history is not forgotten or erased.
