Exploring The Now Abandoned Suwannee River Community College

In 1958, when the state of Florida established North Florida College, it also established a system of segregated junior colleges for African-American students, one of which was Suwannee River Junior College, located in Madison, Florida. SRJC existed from 1959 until 1966 as one of the "Magnificent 12," the name often used to described Florida's historically black junior colleges, before merging with NFC (then North Florida Junior College) in 1966.
