The photographs in the exhibit "Enter Colored Hats" depict the lives of African Americans in the communities of Sanford, Goldsboro, Georgetown, Bookertown, and Midway/Canaan. The exhibit supports the publication of "African Americans in Sanford" an Arcadia Publication by Valada Parker Flewellyn and Sanford Historical Society. The exhibit is the result of a collaboration between EYESEEIMAGES, The Sanford Historical Society, the Sanford Museum and the Zora Neale Hurston Institute for Documentary Studies, housed in the University of Central Florida's College of Arts and Humanities.

Under the direction of Professor Tony Major and author/poet Valada Flewellyn, students from the UCF documentary film class produced a documentary titled Goldsboro: An American Story in the summer of 2006. Photographs were taken by UCF students during the filming of the documentary and from the EYESEEIMAGES archives and the book by Valada Parker Flewellyn.
