Description
Forty-seven color slides. Images of a sugar mill run by Osceola Farms, including the mill workers, the machinery, harvesting of sugarcane, the warehouse, and the final product: crystallized sugar. In 1960 Cuban immigrants Pepe and Alfy Fanjul moved their sugar manufacturing operation to Florida, and 4000 acre Osceola Farms, But the mid-1980s, it was earning 240 million a year with tens of thousands of acres. By the 1990s, the company became Florida Crystals, and was the state's largest sugar company, one of the companies often nicknamed as Big Sugar. The Folk Arts in Education Project in Palm Beach County was a joint venture between the Palm Beach County School System and the Florida Folklife Program. It was conducted between 1986 and 1987 by folklorist Jan Rosenberg with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts to add to existing social studies curriculum. The goal was to impart an appreciation of multi-ethnic traditions and provide a sense of place to the mobile student population. The project focused on the Florida Studies component for fourth grade students. The project consisted of field research to identify local traditions and folk artists, a series of five two-day seminars to acquaint teachers with the use of folklore and folk arts, in-school programs conducted by a folklorist and traditionalist, which included visits by local folk artists. In total, the project involved 15 schools with 779 students.
