In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Robert Cassanello. Cassanello is an associate professor of history at the University of Central Florida. He describes himself as a “social historian interested in public history.” He has published several books on race, labor and politics in the United States. In addition, he has curated exhibits such as The Long History of the Civil Rights Movement in Florida and From Kin to Kant: Turpentine Culture in Central Florida. Cassanello co-produced numerous media projects such as the films, The Committee and Filthy Dreamers with his UCF colleague Dr. Lisa Mills. I reached out to him because of his activism around podcasts as public history form. He produced The History of Central Florida Podcast which won the Hampton Dunn Internet Broadcasting Award from Florida Historical Society. In our conversation we spoke about his vision for a digital public history and it’s implications for teaching and scholarship.

The Department of History’s Dr. Robert Cassanello recently talked with Dr. Alun Williams from the University of Exeter in England. In the interview, they discuss Dr. Simon Barton’s work and career. Dr. Barton joined the Department of History at the University of Central Florida in January of 2017 and suddenly passed away in December of that same year at the age of 55. The Department of History at UCF produced this podcast interview to share the scholarly life and legacy of Simon Barton for those who knew him and for those who never got the chance.

The Department of History’s Dr. Robert Cassanello recently sat down with Dana Chandler, Archivist and Assistant Professor at Tuskegee University in Alabama. In March of 2018, Dana Chandler was a guest lecturer at the University of Central Florida. His lecture was titled, “Lifting the Veil: Tuskegee Archives and Digitization”. In the interview, Dr. Cassanello talks with Dana Chandler about his efforts to digitally preserve the Tuskegee University archival collection.

In this episode Robert Cassanello interviewed Kathryn Palmer about her article titled “Losing Lincoln: Black Educators, Historical Memory, and the Desegregation of Lincoln High School in Gainesville, Florida” published in the Summer 2016 issue of the Florida Historical Quarterly.

In this episode of the FHQ Podcast we look back at the career of Dr. Raymond A. Mohl. Dr. Mohl passed away in earlier in the year and his obituary is featured in the Spring 2015 issue. This episode features an interview with Dr. Robert Cassanello about the impact of Raymond Mohl and excerpts from an unaired 2011 interview of Mohl about interstate highway planning and protests.

The story of the rise of Jim Crow in Jacksonville, Florida is in many ways illustrative of the challenges facing newly emancipated African Americans throughout the South with local officials erecting barriers to black participation; blacks building institutions to overcome those obstacles; then Southern bigots using the reaction of blacks as justification for both the initial barriers and further draconian measures.  This usually involved labeling black political action as in some way primitive, corrupt or unfairly self-interested. For example, many in the white establishment in Jacksonville resented that blacks voted for Republicans out of loyalty, yet they also attacked blacks for voting for ‘reform Democrats’ out of self -interest. So, the solution? Political education of some kind? Outreach perhaps? No, instead they implemented what was called the ‘Australian ballot’: a subway map style list of candidates with intersecting names and titles intended to either confuse or disqualify many black voters.  This hostility to black political agency extended to all aspects of public life in Jacksonville, with each reaction forcing blacks further from power and from view. Robert Cassanello’s To Render Invisible: Jim Crow and Public Life in New South Jacksonville (University Press of Florida, 2013) explores this dynamic in rich detail, helping further our understanding of the post Civil War but pre- Civil Rights era in the South. Robert was kind enough to speak with me. I hope you enjoy.
