Description

On the South Florida Roundup, we talked with the Miami native Edda Fields-Black — winner of the Pulitzer Prize for her history of Harriet Tubman and the pivotal Civil War raid on the Combahee River (01:08 ). We also examined Lucy’s Law — a bill that was just passed by the Florida Legislature to strengthen the state’s boating codes after Luciana Fernandez’s tragic death (19:34 ). And we looked at how we measure patriotism — and why Florida keeps finishing near the bottom in one patriotism survey (34:18 ).
