"Empowering Orlando's Black Churches: Teaching African American History with a Toolkit"

Black churches in Orlando are using a toolkit created by Faith in Florida to teach African American history to their congregants. With restrictions on teaching Black history in Florida, churches are stepping in to fill the gap. The toolkit includes recommended books, documentaries, and articles covering the history of the Transatlantic slave trade to the Civil Rights Movement. The classes aim to provide a more comprehensive understanding of American history and culminate in a trip to important Civil Rights Movement sites in Alabama. Over 300 churches in Florida and the South have signed up to use the toolkit.
