Six months after Eatonville, Florida, was imperiled by a development proposal that would have paved over its legacy, one of the oldest incorporated Black communities in the U.S. has at least a chance at rebirth. Read more: https://t.co/Tk7JynX77s

Just checked this hearing on HB 999, Florida's higher education overhaul decried as being the most extreme education bill in the US.

172 people showed up against it yesterday.
2 showed up in support.
2 showed up to give "info only."

It passed in party-line vote, GOP in support.

Bayard Rustin, unsung hero of the human rights struggle. Brave enough to be openly gay in the 1950s(!) he was one of MLK’s top advisors. Helped strategize the Montgomery Bus Boycott, organized the 1963 March on Washington.

I made a list of Miami cultural institutions in state of crisis, mostly because of the city's own actions. In addition to the Little Haiti Cultural Center, now.
