Jan. 1966: Vernon Dahmer said on radio he'd pay Miss. poll tax for anyone who couldn't afford to register to vote.

Let’s keep it going. 😎
Dear @CollegeBoard — Florida banned new Afr Amer Studies course outright claiming it “lacks educational value.” You worked over a decade creating course. You had scholars hail curriculum for being “rigorously vetted.” How are you not #AllOrNothingAP? 🤨🤔

How do you intro new course @CollegeBoard that’s gone through same rigor as all your other courses *now available in Florida* and yet have state say we don’t want course centering Black American history & culture — but we’ll take European History. How’s that work? #AllOrNothingAP
The *only course* Florida rejected is one that explores the contributions & experiences of African Americans. Japanese / German / French / Chinese / Spanish / Italian Language & Culture are *all permitted* in the state of Florida.
C’mon @CollegeBoard, they’re not even subtle.
