Florida’s history of racial violence won’t be taught in schools. Rubin Stacey’s surviving family wants to change that.

The story of the mob that hanged an innocent man 90 years ago for something he didn’t do is at risk of being erased under Florida’s ‘anti-woke’ laws, according to the Black man's surviving family members. To stop that from happening, they’ve set up the Rubin Stacey Justice Initiative, a nonprofit that will promote an understanding of Florida’s past, and how it still shapes what goes on today.
