The historic Leonard Reid House celebrates 100 years in existence with an array of events throughout the year. From a presentation about parrots to a book fair celebrating access to literacy, the family friendly events commemorate the core beliefs of the pioneering family who shaped Sarasota’s history. In collaboration with Jungle Gardens' avian keepers, Sarasota African American Cultural Coalition (SAACC) presents, "Hello Pretty Bird." It's an hourlong program about the world of colorful parrots and the stories of Overtown residents who remember the Reid family's two large, talking birds. The event takes place at 2529 N. Orange Ave, Sarasota, FL from 1 - 2 p.m. on Thursday, March 12. To learn moreabout SAACC’s mission, please visit https://thesaacc.org/
