My name is Tammie Fields. You may recognize me as the former Weekend Anchor/Reporter at 10 News, WTSP in Tampa Bay. While I was blessed to serve our community on air for 10 years I recently wrapped up my graduate studies at the University of South Florida-St. Petersburg campus in Digital Journalism & Design! My final project was to create this digital multi-media project.

As part of my studies I organized the Tampa Woolworth Project to recognize the courageous actions of Tampa, Florida resident Clarence Fort and the NAACP Youth Council in an historical marker like the ones you see displayed below in photos from my personal travels to other historical sites.
