“Dunn was born in an orange grove barn in central #Florida… He & his family harvested crops at a time when the Sunshine State had some of the nation’s strictest Jim Crow segregation laws. Dunn lived that history up close; he remembers being forced to use the ‘colored’ beach & drinking fountain growing up.”
Now the professor emeritus is defying #DeSantis —whose #StopWokeAct censors #BlackHistory in schools— by taking high school students on statewide #TeachTheTruth tours. https://wapo.st/3XOY5j0
I attended K-12 at some of the best public schools in Florida. I also graduated from one of the top universities.
Never heard of Rosewood.
Never heard about Tulsa or Black Wall st.
After my 4 years in the fairly diverse Marine Corps infantry, I couldn't stand the casual, daily racism of Florida. I left and will never move back.
I have family and friends who are lawyers, professors, politicians and so on- essentially the power brokers. The level of racism is much deeper than you realize. It is a constant underlayment. There are many areas where citizens pretty much self-segregate. White areas and black areas.
My heart breaks for the beautiful land where no one cares about the color difference between the pelican species. We save that hatred for our own species and only our own. It's truly absurd.
