The publisher called Florida's governor 'racist' and said it would target the state with free e-books in response to revisions made with an African American studies course.
A Chicago-based publisher has vowed to target the Florida market by offering free e-books on Black history after the Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the College Board revised an African American studies course.
Haymarket Books called the governor a"racist" and said he"continues to escalate his attacks on the freedom to learn and teach history." Eve L. Ewing, the author of “1919," which is a collection of poems about Chicago during the 1919 race riots said, “Black people have always figured out ways to teach our history in spaces beneath, beyond, and betwixt the machinations of people like Ron DeSantis.”
