"DeSantis and Harris Clash Over Florida's Black History Curriculum Narrative"

Dr. William Allen, a co-author of Florida's Black history curriculum, has criticized Vice President Kamala Harris and the media for spreading misinformation about the curriculum. Harris claimed that the curriculum teaches that enslaved people benefited from slavery, which Allen called a "categorically false" statement. He argued that the media, driven by their own agenda, failed to fact-check Harris' claims and instead amplified them. Allen emphasized the importance of reading the curriculum before forming opinions and highlighted that it covers both the harsh conditions endured by enslaved people and their resilience and accomplishments. He believes that the media's reaction is part of a larger effort to impose a false narrative on American history.
