African American Sites in Florida
Documenting the history of a people is essential to the preservation of their existence. . . . Remembering the past ensures the future as we move forward. As chair of the Commissioner of Education's African American History Taskforce, I am happy to say that we commend McCarthy for being an advocate to preserving our history by means of this wonderful book. --Dr. Bernadette Kelley, Chair, Florida's African American History Taskforce
