The Lee County Black History Society, Inc. (LCBHS) evolved from Attorney and Educator, Janice Cass’s desire to commemorate Black History Month on a countywide basis. In 1990, a group of like-minded community members reorganized into the Fort Myers Chapter of the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University Alumni Association ( The Black Film Society). The group realized that to make the organization relevant to the community, the new organization would need to focus on local black history and culture. The Black Film Society would need to collect memorabilia as well as oral histories and find a place to locate the organization. The organization chose to become a ‘history’ rather than ‘historical society because the group wanted their organization to be living, breathing and growing, not staid or in the past. The group incorporated as The Lee County Black History Society, Inc. (LCBHS) became a 501(c)(3) non- profit corporation in November 1994. During this period, research on the Black community revealed that the building which was to become the Williams Academy Black History Museum was the 1942 addition to the Williams Academy school building. By February, 1995, LCBHS, with community support, raised $15,000.00 to move the Williams Academy building to Roberto Clemente Park. Once the building was set up in the park, LCBHS with the help of City and County Planning offices, was able to acquire a Historic Preservation Grant In-Aid from the Florida Department of State to help restore the Williams Academy building. The restoration plan was developed by Barger & Dean Architects, Inc. LCBHS continues to collects local histories and memorabilia throughout the community. It is building its’ archives for research availability to the public. The archives will serve as a resource base for citizens seeking historical information pertaining to Lee County Black citizens and their histories. LCBHS annually sponsors traditional, cultural and historic activities during Black History Month.
