Florida's rich history is intertwined with its past of slavery and segregation, yet many students are not receiving comprehensive education on African American history in the state's classrooms. While the state has mandated the teaching of African American history for the past 30 years, concerns persist about the depth and consistency of the instruction.
Recognizing this gap, community organizations like the Spady Cultural Heritage Museum in Delray Beach have stepped in to provide supplementary education on African American history. These programs, often supported by Black churches, aim to fill the void left by traditional schooling.
