Florida’s Capitol has a long and varied history. The core of the building
was completed in 1845, when Florida became a state. First expanded in 1902,
when the House and Senate Chambers and a classic dome were added, the
Capitol was enlarged as government's responsibilities grew. After the new
capitol was completed in 1977, a grassroots public effort arose to save the
Old Capitol. Restored to its 1902 appearance, when all of state government
was housed in one building, the Old Capitol reflects cooperation between
government and citizens at its best. Together they preserved a great symbol
of Florida's history. Today the Old Capitol is home to the Florida Center
for Political History and Governance, a site of the Museum of Florida
History. ROBERT BUTLER: Artist Comments This painting of the Old Capitol has a special meaning that transcends the eloquent beauty it clearly emanates: this is a place that represents the will of a people to honor the highest ideals born of humanity - a government of the people, by the people, for the people. As an African American, this place evokes a memory of those famous words spoken long ago by President Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address regarding the honorable deeds o principled men: “The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did her. “ It was the deeds of principled men that guaranteed my place at an easel on the lawn of the Florida state capitol, documenting a beautiful icon of our heritage. |

Promoting Natural Florida Through the Arts is an environmental arts project created in partnership between Audubon of Florida, the Highwaymen Artists, and the African-American Research Library and Cultural Center (AARLCC). These organizations in collaboration with other partners have developed a year-long series of activities comprised of a nature art exhibition, artist workshops, community forums, nature walks, wildlife observation, canoeing and riverboat tours which enable participants to gain an understanding of the role of art in education, threats to Florida's nature and natural lands and outreach to the local community about the beauty of the North Fork of the New River. The project's goal is to heighten the community's appreciation and knowledge of Florida's growth issues and its impact on natural areas-particularly the Everglades ecosystem and to highlight the North Fork of the New River as a community resource. The New River is an old river in an urban setting. It runs through downtown Ft Lauderdale. Where the river splits to become the North Fork begins the area locally known as Northwest Fort Lauderdale or the Sistrunk Corridor, a historically African-American community. The North Fork is the only remaining section of the New River left in its natural state. It meanders three and a half miles through an urban setting surrounded by many of the oldest African American communities in Broward County. Much of its natural beauty is retained in the shoreline. It is a snapshot of "Old Florida," with endangered pond apple and cypress trees festooned with flowering bromeliads and home to many native birds and fauna.
