Fig. 7.3In 1925, Dr. Hughes opened the American National Thrift Association Hospital , which was the only facility to treat African Americans for hundreds of miles (West Ocala Vision and Community Plan, 2011)

In the months that followed, we held meetings and presentations/demonstrations in various locations in West Ocala, making prominent use of the drums and scientific equipment, when and where possible. The primary aims of these events were to provide opportunities for participants to experience links among STEM, African/African Diasporic cultural traditions, and the history of the West Ocala community. In addition, we aimed to shape collaborative efforts that respected and built upon previous and current community-based efforts focused on community empowerment and revitalization . We discussed envisioned work honoring, acknowledging, and showing value for the earlier efforts and emphasized that the dynamic was not meant to be one where some outsider comes in with the latest and greatest idea, as if nothing had been attempted or accomplished before. Rather, we needed West Ocala community stakeholders to help figure out how to get to synergy – to combine efforts and to meaningfully collaborate.
