Civil rights groups say recent laws and policies backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis are 'hostile' and 'cruel.'
The Board of Directors for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People issued a formal travel advisory for Florida on Saturday.
"Florida is openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals. Before traveling to Florida, please understand that the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of, and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color," the advisory reads.
The advisory is being issued due to the decision made by DeSantis' administration earlier this year to prohibit the Advanced Placement course in African American Studies in Florida high schools.
