The Florida Humanities Council presents Florida: The Land of Freedom, Opportunity, and New Beginnings

For much of its history, Florida was a wild frontier-the perfect place for someone to disappear or start over. Displaced Native Americans and runaway slaves both made Florida their home for just this reason. Ivy Stranahan, Francisco Menéndez, and Mary McLeod Bethune each knew that Florida offered them a fresh start and the hope of a brighter future.
