Florida Senator Wants To Enhance African American Studies In Public Schools

June 5 , 2020

A South Florida legislator wants to improve the way public schools in the state teach African American history. Florida law requires that students learn about African American History, but Sen. Lori Berman (D-Boynton Beach) doesn't think the lessons are the best they could be.

"I think next year we need to take a look at how we are teaching African American studies and from a much more holistic viewpoint in our classrooms, and that's something that I will promise all of you I will take the lead on in looking into that issue," Berman says.
