Repost from @blackhistoryunlocked using repost_now_app - The first all-Black city to be incorporated in Florida, Eatonville was established in 1887 after being settled two decades after the Civil War ended by former slaves. Located six miles north of Orlando, the town was first named Maitland and got its start when former slave, Joseph C. Clarke, along with northern philanthropist Lewis Lawrence, bought over a hundred acres of land from Josiah Eaton, one of the few white landowners willing to sell to African Americans.
-
-

They then parceled the acres to black families from the surrounding area of central Florida. On the fifteenth of August, 1887, the town was officially incorporated when twenty-seven registered black voters indicated their intention to create a municipality. They named the town in honor of Josiah Eaton who eventually also served as its mayor. The new town’s citizens, however, chose Columbus H. Boger as its first mayor to head an entirely black-staffed government.
-
-

The life of Eatonville, like other all-black towns and the black sections of mostly white communities, revolved around its church and its school. The St. Lawrence African Methodist Episcopal Church (A.M.E.), then simply called the Methodist Church, was the first religious institution in the city. The church received the first ten acres of land purchased by Clarke and Lawrence, and upon its founding in 1881 (predating the town by six years), it became the first African American church in the area. St. Lawrence A.M.E. still stands in Eatonville and continues to serve the community to this day.

-
-
Along with St. Lawrence A.M.E., the town’s first post-primary school, the Hungerford Normal and Industrial School, was central to the town’s culture. The school, which was founded by Professor and Mrs. Russell C. Calhoun in 1889, sat on land that was donated in the memory of Dr. Robert Hungerford, a white doctor who had died while caring for sick African Americans. The Hungerford School, headed by Tuskegee Institute graduates, the Calhouns, was modeled on Tuskegee’s principles—teach taken in Eatonville, Florida by @mr.1887first

This is what strategy looks like when it’s done right.

Thank you @mr.1887first & the @1887first family for trusting in me.

This wasn’t a “pick my brain” call.
This was a business strategy session.

In this session, we didn’t just talk ideas — we:

Identified what was actually blocking growth

Simplified the business model

Clarified offers and income pathways

Put systems behind the vision

Created an execution plan with real deadlines

Established accountability (because ideas without action don’t pay)

This is the part people don’t show you.

The questions.
The hard truths.
The restructuring.
The shift from hustling to operating like a CEO.

This is what I do as The Resource Expert.

I help business owners:
✔️ Build strategy that makes sense
✔️ Create systems that scale
✔️ Stop spinning and start executing
✔️ Turn confusion into clarity
✔️ Turn vision into revenue

If you’re serious about growing your business — not just posting about it — this is the level of work required.

And if you’re ready for real structure, real strategy, and real accountability, you already know what to do.

To bring an idea to life, that sh*t is truly spiritual 🙏🏾 Never felt more in my element than I do now. It’s a blessing to be able to operate in your purpose and true authenticity. I didn’t ask for this I was called & I showed up even when I didn’t want to I still obeyed, cause nothing about serving the people is easy…
