Welcome

The mission of Both Sides of the Bridge is to preserve and promote the personal narratives of racially and culturally diverse Flagler County long-term residents. 

Since 1920, the Moody Bridge in Flagler County has stood as both a literal and symbolic divide. For some, it opened access to homes, jobs, and beachfront recreation. For others—especially residents of color—it represented exclusion, segregation, and barriers to opportunity.

Both Sides of the Bridge seeks to preserve the personal narratives of Flagler County’s longtime residents, both Black and White, to illuminate how the bridge shaped community life throughout the twentieth century.

Through oral histories, we aim to acknowledge the past, foster understanding, and ensure every voice is valued in building a more inclusive future.

• Collect & Preserve Stories: Record and archive oral histories of at least 20 racially and culturally diverse residents.
• Build Access: Create a permanent, searchable database for researchers, students, and community members.
• Engage the Public: Share these stories through exhibits, community programs, and  a documentary to bring these stories to a wider audience.
• Foster Healing: Use personal narratives as a bridge toward dialogue, understanding, and racial equity.
