Good Luck Teaching Florida's History under State Legislation Blocking "Uncomfortable Themes"

<p>In 2020, Ron DeSantis signed a bill requiring the history of the 1920 Ocoee Massacre be taught in Florida schools. Legislation pending this year would potentially enable parents to block the lessons, along with teaching other important episodes of violence in the state's history. </p>

Scholarship fund established for descendants of Ocoee Massacre victims

Scholarship fund established for descendants of Ocoee Massacre victims
Catherine Hawley reports
OCOEE, Fla. - It is a dark and often-overlooked chapter in Florida’s past; 100 years ago, the largest incident of voting day violence in U.S. history took place not far from Tampa Bay.
A new scholarship fund signed into law Wednesday will directly benefit the descendants of those victimized in the Ocoee Massacre.
The Ocoee Election Day riot happened in 1920, all because a Black man tried to exercise his legal right to vote. Homes and churches were torched, an unknown number of African Americans were killed, and almost all of the estimated 280 Black residents living in Ocoee were driven out of town.

Florida state Sen. Bracy to run for congressional seat now held by Demings

TALLAHASSEE — State Sen. Randolph Bracy, an Orlando Democrat who pushed to revamp Florida’s criminal justice laws while in the Legislature, will run for the central Florida congressional seat now held by Rep. Val Demings.
Bracy’s move represents yet another ripple effect caused by Demings decision to challenge U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio in 2022.
The 44-year-old Bracy becomes the first to publicly announce his intention to run for Demings seat, although former local prosecutor Aramis Ayala strongly hinted last week that she too would run for the 10th Congressional District seat. Brady has an advantage since
his Orange County state Senate seat makes up 80 percent of the congressional district.

Winners and losers emerging from the 2021 Legislative Session

Winners and losers emerging from the 2021 Legislative Session
They all can't be winners. Here is the definitive list of who's up and who took a fall.
The ending of a Session is never a surprise. It’s like harvest season. What you get at the end is the result of months, maybe even years of tilling, planting, watering, tending, and shepherding.
Against the odds and despite many challenges, the 2021 Legislative Session ended on time. The House Speaker and the Senate President were together for the iconic dropping of the hankie. There weren’t any strained smiles or forced compliments. They stood side by side, thanking each other as much as they talked about themselves.
