Great news -- the State of Mississippi will require that civil rights be taught "in every grade from kindergarten through high school." See below. Right on!
America's Founding Fathers were right -- the perfectability of human nature is never in doubt, not even in the State of Mississippi. That's progress.
Not to be outdone, the State of Florida should likewise require a civil rights curriculum, including visits to St. Augustine. To help the world learn from our civil right heritage, let's have a National Civil Rights and Native American History Museum here in St. Augustine, Florida as part of a St. Augustine National Historical Park, Seashore and Snenic Coastal Parkway.
What better way to help observe the 50th anniversary of St. Augustine's Civil Rights Foot Soldiers (2014), the 450th anniversary of St. Augustine's founding (2015) and 500th anniversary of the Spanish in Florida (against a backdrop of 11,000 years of human history hereabouts)?
