Florida’s Battle with Black History

LMU Magazine: “In 1994, Florida took a groundbreaking step in secondary education by being the first U.S. state to pass a law requiring the teaching of African American history in schools. In 2023, many educators say, Florida took a big step backward,” writes Joseph Wakelee-Lynch about Florida’s rejection of the AP African American Studies course. The article quotes Keisha Chin Goosby, clinical assistant professor of education in the LMU School of Education; Emelyn A. de la Peña, vice president for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; and Marne Campbell, associate professor and chair of the Department of African American Studies in the LMU Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts.
