Through partnerships with community-based organizations, churches, and private citizens, the society organizes events such as Black History Month, Legends Gala, Juneteenth, and Holiday in the Park. The society also offers virtual tours of the Williams Academy Black History Museum, which showcases the history of the first government-funded school for African-American students in Fort Myers.
