Activists to march, opposing Florida's new Black history teachings

• Students will also learn "how slavery was utilized in Asian, European and African cultures" and about the "resiliency" of African Americans.

What's happening: Protestors plan to assemble on the street near Booker T. High School and march to the School Board administration building, where several people will give speeches.

• "Our demand is: Don't teach lies to our students," Dunn tells Axios. "We do not want our children taught lies about enslavement and about Black history."
• Dunn tells Axios he expects hundreds of people to attend, including members of the Teamsters National Black Caucus, who are in Miami for a conference.
• Dunn doesn't expect many current teachers to participate because they are preparing for classes to start Thursday.

What they're saying: Dunn — a former naval officer, retired FIU professor, author and co-founder of the Miami Center for Racial Justice — tells Axios he organized the march "because education is going to hell under DeSantis. Because we're now subject to education gangsterism by this man, and it must be stopped."

• "W​​e are not protesting our school board," he says. "This is about the state standards that we find so offensive."

The other side: Florida Education Commissioner Manny Díaz has said the new standards represent "the good, bad and ugly in American history."
