Ce bĂątiment emblĂ©matique a jouĂ© un rĂŽle crucial dans l'histoire des droits civiques et la culture afro-amĂ©ricaine. Construit en 1901, la Jackson Rooming House Ă©tait Ă  l'origine une pension de famille qui accueillait les voyageurs afro-amĂ©ricains Ă  une Ă©poque oĂč les lois de sĂ©grĂ©gation empĂȘchaient leur hĂ©bergement dans les hĂŽtels rĂ©servĂ©s aux blancs. Au fil des dĂ©cennies, ce lieu est devenu un refuge et un sanctuaire pour de nombreuses figures emblĂ©matiques, dont des musiciens de jazz et de blues, des athlĂštes, et des militants des droits civiques. Les noms cĂ©lĂšbres qui ont sĂ©journĂ© ici incluent Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald et James Brown. Aujourd'hui, elle rappelle l'importance de prĂ©server et de cĂ©lĂ©brer notre patrimoine, tout en honorant les luttes et les contributions des gĂ©nĂ©rations passĂ©es.

Many jazz musician legends who visited Tampa during segregation stayed here. Quite the landmark and piece of history here! Hopefully it will be restored soon.

All the history that happened in this house is overwhelming. I hope and pray that more people join in the effort to help restore this home.

My one star review is for the greed of the city developers and government not the historical meaningful property.

Can't believe what the city is doing with their greed. This property first and foremost belongs to Tampa's Black Community. Now all these decades it gets in further disarray the city could have fixed it then and now they'd wish to demolish it to make way for more ultra luxury apartments.

The city of tampa truly does not care building Black centric areas and zones on the bones of their descendants screams volumes.

If this house gets demolished it should become a safe zone for the Black Community a community park or garden in the honor of Tampa's Black History.

As an Arab and Pakistani I stand with them so much knowing what these people endured you can't erase history you can't erase the suffering you can move forward but you can't erase the past....

Bubba tried to restore this landmark. In fact, he had contractors lined up and the sale contract completed. In the final hours before signing, the city and Bob buckhorn, tampas mayor, decided that black people do not deserve a pro bono law office (on 2nd floor) and restoration of the historical house. In fact, they would rather it fall in and be destroyed. So the city imposed heavy fines and prevented the restoration which forced the naacp and Bubba...
