SUMMARY:Special Exhibit: Honoring our African American Servicemembers
DESCRIPTION:Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum in Carrabelle is presenting a special exhibit in recognition of Black History Month honoring  the service of African-American servicemembers in WWII. This exhibit will open Tuesday\, February 3\, 2026 and will be on display at the museum until Saturday\, February 28\, 2026. The museum is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm ET and there is no charge for admission. \n  \nAfrican Americans served in large numbers during WWII despite being denied full rights as American citizens. They served in segregated units in both the Army and the Army Air Corps\, one of the most recognizable being the Tuskegee Airmen. Many African American soldiers trained at Camp Gordon Johnston in transportation units such as Amphibious Truck Companies\, where support units often worked close to combat and came under fire. \n  \nAt Camp Gordon Johnston\, these Amphibious Truck Companies trained in the use of the amphibious truck known as the DUKW\, using the bay and sandy beaches in Carrabelle and all along the Forgotten Coast to practice operating\, loading and unloading these truly amphibious vehicles. The Museum continues its research into the units that trained at Camp Gordon Johnston in Carrabelle and served in World War II including being part of the campaign on Iwo Jima. \n  \nThis exhibit will share what has been uncovered about these servicemen who\, like many African Americans of the era\, served their country with honor in a still-segregated military and faced significant challenges along the way. \n  \nCamp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is located in Carrabelle\, directly across from Carrabelle Public Beach Park at 1873 Hwy 98 West. For more information\, contact Camp Gordon Johnston Museum at (850) 697-8575 or museum@campgordonjohnston.com. Funded in part by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.

SUMMARY:Ben Rosenblum
DESCRIPTION:Pianist\, accordionist and composer Ben Rosenblum has traversed a truly unique musical path\, one that has seen him perform alongside world-class musicians across more than twenty music genres and twenty-five countries\, lead bands at prestigious venues across the world\, all while maintaining a signature\, melodic musical voice. Rosenblum’s journey has taken him on tours with Grammy-winning pop artist Rickie Lee Jones\, Grammy-winning jazz vocalist Catherine Russell and Juno-winning contemporary Indian singer Kiran Ahluwalia. He’s played Brazilian choro with Ephrat Asherie Dance and Brazilian forró with The Late Night Show’s Nêgah Santos and famed forró band Forró in the Dark. His roots in jazz have led to an over ten-year relationship with Grammy-winning bassist Curtis Lundy\, performing at festivals alongside jazz luminaries Bobby Watson\, Sean Jones and Warren Wolf. He has appeared with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra on accordion\, and as a guest soloist on piano at Carnegie Hall’s Stern-Perelman Auditorium with Maestro Reona Ito’s New York Harmonic Band. Throughout it all\, Rosenblum has always maintained the same priority – to tell a compelling story with his music\, reaching the hearts of his audience and connecting on an emotional\, intellectual and spiritual level. \n \n \nRosenblum brings this wealth and diversity of experiences to his projects as a leader\, overseeing a full tour schedule as a solo artist\, with his trio and most recently\, with his six-piece ensemble\, the Nebula Project. Since his first album as a leader\, Instead (4 stars\, Downbeat Magazine)\, he has since released three follow-up records to critical acclaim\, including favorable reviews in almost every major jazz publication (Downbeat\, All About Jazz\, Jazziz\, JazzTimes\, JazzEd\, NYC Jazz Record\, JazzLife Japan and many more). Across multiple tours in Japan\, Europe\, Canada and the United States\, Rosenblum has brought his bands to perform at some of the world’s most respected music venues\, including Ravinia\, Kuumbwa Jazz Center\, the Library of Congress\, AngraJazz (Terceira Island)\, Bird’s Eye (Basel) and Yokohama’s Himawari-No-Sato Concert Hall. At any given show\, Rosenblum might draw on influences from ten or more countries\, with interests going beyond jazz to include various music traditions from South America\, Eastern Europe\, Ireland\, India\, the Caribbean and the Middle East.
