We have heard the words “sedition”, “traitor” and “treason” used very often since early 2021. There are those who believe that what happened on January 6 was a “rebellion” or “insurrection” that warrants expulsion from political office, and criminal trials. We have heard references to the 14th Amendment, Section 3. Well, we have heard it all before, at the end of the Civil War in 1865. Were the Confederates United States citizens who committed treason by warring on their own government? Or is the story more complicated than that? Very complicated, as it turns out. Tallahassee Historical Society president, Bob Holladay, will enlighten participants on this topic.

2021 marks the 200-year anniversary of Florida becoming a United States territory in 1821. The significance of this event goes far beyond the political implications of the treaty with Spain, particularly when viewed through the experiences of indigenous peoples and free Black communities in the area near Tallahassee. Join John Grandage, Executive Director at The Grove Museum, for a discussion about the importance of the bicentennial anniversary for understanding the evolution of civil rights in early territorial Florida and Tallahassee.

Your IRA Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) = tax free charitable contribution. Taxpayers, age 70½ or older who are required to withdraw IRA funds may donate a portion of your RMD directly to an eligible charity, such as the Tallahassee Senior Citizens Foundation, and not have to pay taxes. Making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA by the IRA trustee to a charitable organization, counts toward your minimum distribution requirement for the year and is nontaxable.
