WHAT IS THE JOEL BUCHANAN ARCHIVE? On behalf of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program (SPOHP), welcome to the Joel Buchanan Archive of African American Oral History at the University of Florida. The Joel Buchanan Archive contains thousands of unique stories and experiences shared by Black elders in Florida who came of age in the era of legal segregation. Nurtured by rich traditions of family, community, and institutional support, many of the narrators and interviewees highlighted in this collection formed the leading cadres for the Civil Rights Movement throughout the nation.

In addition to one-on-one oral history interviews conducted by our students, faculty, staff, and volunteers, the Joel Buchanan Archive contains public history panels with some of the leading activists of the 20th century. This includes Patricia Stephens Due, a leader of the Congress of Racial Equality and author of the 1960 “Letter from Leon County Jail,” which inspired Reverend Martin Luther King and Jr. Lawrence Guyot, cofounder of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, are featured in the collection conducting an organizing workshop with University of Florida students.

Joel Buchanan is highlighted in the collection as the facilitator for the 2009 public history program: “Florida Black History: Where We Stand in the Age of Barack Obama.”

This historic event featured UF alumni including Evelyn Marie Moore Mickle (one of the first African American graduates of the UF College of Nursing); Dr. Gwendolyn Zoharah Simmons, a veteran organizer with the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee and assistant professor of Religion at UF; and Dan Harmeling, a UF alumnus who traveled with a cohort of UF students and faculty to take part in the 1964 Civil Rights Movement in St. Augustine, Florida.

WHO IS JOEL BUCHANAN? Joel Buchanan was an indispensable member of the Gainesville community, the University of Florida, and the SPOHP family; without Joel, we would not have the oral history collection we have today. Many of those who knew him vividly recall his passion for recording and preserving African American history here in Gainesville as well as in wider Florida. Joel Buchanan is the reason that the Special Collections in Smathers Libraries today include such invaluable resources as the A. Quinn Jones collection, the Visionnaires collection, or the Cunningham Funeral Home collection—to name only a few examples. In the early 1980s,

Joel carried out the first directed effort at SPOHP to collect African American oral histories in Gainesville, and the result was the Fifth Avenue Blacks collection which has been used in numerous publications and student research projects over the years.

Joel often spoke to student groups about his experiences as one of the first Black students to integrate Gainesville High School in 1964. Though he volunteered for the role, he later described integration as one of the most difficult and lonely experiences of his life. Despite facing verbal assaults and threats of violence, Joel continued his mission to desegregate GHS out of a desire to pave the way for future Black students to receive an education. Joel graduated with honors from GHS and went on to attend the University of Florida, where he continued to advocate for civil rights in Alachua County. Perhaps it was also fitting that after succeeding in the ordeals of integration, Joel went on to become a teacher at local middle and elementary schools, working to help new generations of students build on what he and his peers worked to achieve. He later became a history liaison at the UF George A. Smathers Library Special Collections Department.

In 2009, Joel worked with SPOHP in organizing an event, “Black History in Florida: Where We Stand in the Age of Barack Obama,” at which he was the facilitator. The event was very well-attended and received, and in its aftermath Joel played an instrumental role in securing funding to undertake what became the African American History Project, or AAHP. Ten years and well over 600 interviews later, there was no question that the public archive of these and future interviews should be named after Joel Buchanan. This project is in every respect part of Joel’s legacy as a researcher, an archivist, and a community member, and we encourage you to explore and to share the stories found within the Joel Buchanan Archive of African American Oral History at the University of Florida.

FIFTH AVENUE BLACKS COLLECTION The Fifth Avenue Blacks collection (catalog code FAB) was started by Joel Buchanan in 1981. Mr. Buchanan grew up in Gainesville, being one of the first three students to integrate Gainesville High School, and over the years dedicated much of his life to service work in the community and efforts to preserve Black history in Gainesville and other parts of Florida. In this collection, he interviewed a number of elders and leaders from Black communities in Gainesville--primarily Fifth Avenue/Pleasant Street, but also including neighborhoods such as Porters Quarters and Springhill, and other areas in Alachua County.

ST. AUGUSTINE COLLECTION SPOHP has several collections from St. Augustine, including the CRSTA (Civil Rights in St. Augustine) collection from the 1970s, the SACR (St. Augustine Civil Rights) collection to the early 2000s, and the SAAH (St. Augustine African American History) collection. The earlier collections focused on the Civil Rights Movement in St. Augustine, including the events of 1963 and 1964. The newer SAAH collection continues to build on those stories, but has expanded to also place emphasis on Black history in St. Augustine more broadly, including Excelsior High School, the Lincolnville neighborhood and West Augustine, and Black-owned businesses in the area.
