Students, teachers, and activists marched through Miami on Wednesday to protest Florida's Black history curriculum.
Florida's new standard has come under fire, especially the teaching that some slaves "developed skills" during their enslavement that benefitted them later.
Vice President Kamala Harris is among the curriculum's critics, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, R, has defended the language.
"This is another white supremacist tactic that we’re seeing again and again over and over in different places, this time in education," one marching protester, from a group of about 50, told Local 10.
