Tampa Technique Crowdfunding

Tampa Technique is a documentary project about Central Avenue, which was the historically black business district in Tampa, Florida. This story explores the racial history of Tampa with Central Avenue as the guiding force to discuss its racialized construction and destruction through various social forces (segregation, sit-ins, civil disturbance, urban

renewal/removal). Where we need your help is covering copyright costs. Photographs from the Tampa Tribune, Tampa Bay Times, and the Florida Sentinel-Bulletin as well as archival video from WTVT. These copyright costs reach thousands of dollars but can provide insightful images of black life in Tampa, primarily during the 1950s and 1960s.
