Academic Who Co-Created Florida’s African American History Curriculum
Slams Kamala Harris’ ‘Lies.’

One of the academics behind Florida’s African American history curriculum slammed Vice President Kamala Harris‘ “lies” about the information in the material, calling her remarks “categorically false.”
Last week, Harris traveled to Jacksonville, Florida, where she ignited a false narrative surrounding the new curriculum, claiming that “in the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery.”
Harris found one sentence from the 216-page curriculum, which stated that freed slaves used skills they had learned and developed during slavery to help themselves later in their lives: “Instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”
By comparison, the College Board includes a similar item in its course framework for AP African American Studies for 2023-2024, which the curriculum identifies as “essential knowledge.” 
“In addition to agricultural work, enslaved people learned specialized trades and worked as painters, carpenters, tailors, musicians, and healers in the North and South. Once free, African Americans used these skills to provide for themselves and others,” the curriculum reads. The College Board’s AP college prep classes are available in thousands of schools across the U.S.
