In celebration of Black History Month, the UWF Office of Campus Culture and Access and the Gulf Islands National Seashore are pleased to bring you a Campus Conversation on Pensacola and the Hidden Histories of Black Liberation.

The Underground Railroad in Pensacola is one of the best-kept secrets in United States history. In the mid-1800s, enslaved people seized their freedom by following routes southward to Pensacola and beyond. During the Civil War, the U.S. military presence in West Florida motivated even more enslaved people to pursue freedom. Some joined the U.S. Colored Troops (USCT), playing an important but often overlooked role in the fight in the American Civil War. This Campus Conversation, brought to you by the UWF Office of Campus Culture and Access (OCCA) and the Gulf Islands National Seashore, and in honor of Black History Month, preserves and shares these histories, offering opportunities for reflection on the ongoing struggle for human dignity. We invite you to join us as we bring into alignment the missions of the National Park Service and OCCA by fostering reflective dialogue, creating transformational and educational experiences, and preserving the narratives of those who shaped American history.

This event is funded, in part, by Pace Symposiums and is free and open to the public.

Discover the sizzling stories behind the constellations in this planetarium event for adults (18+). Explore Egyptian mythology hidden in the sky as you take a trip through the cosmos during the ultimate planetarium adventure.

This show is not for the faint of heart--the ancient Egyptians left behind a scandalous collection of myths, and we’re going to dive into the most sizzling stories. We’ll talk about the sordid mythology behind the Sun, Venus, Earth, Moon, and end with a dazzling display of the Egyptian Constellations. You'll learn about curses, traditions, and uncomfortable rites of passage into adulthood. Much like all our Sordid Secrets, this is an adult event, as those ancient Egyptians definitely didn't keep things rated PG!

Our Planetarium is an inflatable dome. Guests sit on cushions on the floor of the planetarium to view the show. Due to size, space is limited to 20 patrons at a time. Purchasing tickets in advance is highly recommended for this reason. On show nights, please arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled showing. In case of no-shows/late shows: reserved spots will be released at show time to make space for the next party.

Shows begin at 6 and 7 pm and last approximately 45 minutes.

Seating is limited and very popular. We encourage purchasing your tickets in advance, as this is a first come, first served event. Please call 850-664-1261, stop by the Science Center, or use our online ticketing option to purchase your tickets. Our planetarium is sponsored by Gulf Power
