Fourth graders in large numbers visit St. Augustine. See below. We need a National Civil Rights Museum to tell the story of the end of Jim Crow segregation (1964), beginning with the story of slavery, which began in what is now the United States right here in St. Augustine on the day the City was founded, on September 8, 1565). www.staugustgreen.com
Mississippi mandates K-12 Civil Rights education. So should Florida. Write your legislators:
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
