A new app created by Broward County Transit highlights Black history in the county. Threads is an interactive map that allows residents to identify historical Black landmarks and designated bus routes to take them there.
“It’s just amazing that all of these stories, all of these people, all of these activists and individuals who kind of came together throughout Broward County history, wove this diverse and vast and important history that we’re still living today,” said Rachel Richardson, who spearheaded the project for Broward County Transit.
The department collaborated with the county library system to curate the historic locations. The landmarks are designated on the map and the app allows viewers to create their own bus tour of the sites.
