Coming home at last; Stetson Kennedy’s work to reside at UF

“Coming home at last; Stetson Kennedy’s work to reside at UF,” The Gainesville Sun, by Jeff Schweers, October 22, 2013.

On October 22, 2013, a symposium of events celebrated the donation of Stetson Kennedy’s papers to the University of Florida. The official donation was the result of years of work from the Stetson Kennedy Foundation, USF Libraries, and UF George Smathers Libraries Special Collections, led by Jim Cusick, who oversees the Florida History Collection. Kennedy’s papers join those of other giants in Florida intellectual history and culture, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and Zora Neale Hurston.
