Beluthahatchee, a name Zora Neale Hurston defined as a mythical Florida Shangri-la where all unpleasantness is forgiven and forgotten, became the home of Florida author and activist Stetson Kennedy when he moved there and set the site aside as a wildlife sanctuary. After World War II, Kennedy infiltrated and exposed the KKK and other domestic terrorist groups. His books include Palmetto Country (1942), Southern Exposure (1946), Jim Crow Guide (1956), and The Klan Unmasked (1957), with the latter two translated around the world. The site served as headquarters for his pioneering 1950 total equality write-in bid for the U.S. Senate. He completed After Appomattox there in 1995 with the help of his wife Joyce Ann, and that year he won the Gustavus Meyer Award for doing the most to combat bigotry in the USA. In April 2005 Kennedy was inducted into the Florida Artist's Hall of Fame. Beluthahatchee also served as a Florida hangout for Woody Guthrie, who completed his autobiographical book Seeds of Man there along with more than 80 Florida songs, including "Beluthahatchee Bill."
