Educators, historians, and civil rights leaders were among those who on Thursday condemned Florida's new K-12 history curriculum as a 'big step backward' for teaching that slavery gave African Americans beneficial 'skills,' and for what critics argue is a disproportionate focus on Black-on-Black violence.
