Over the weekend, the NAACP Board of Directors voted to issue a formal travel advisory warning people of color and LGBTQ people about "hostile" conditions in the state of Florida.
The advisory, which was published on Saturday, was originally proposed by the Florida chapter of the NAACP, which asked the national organization to issue such an advisory in March. The advisory comes just a week after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) — who has signed a number of bills restricting public school educators in the state from teaching core Black history subjects in classrooms — signed legislation banning diversity, equity and inclusion programs at public colleges throughout the state.
