Senators Address Student Protesters
Sen. Arthenia Joyner, D-Tampa, told the crowd of about 200 FAMU, Florida State University and Tallahassee Community College students that she protested for civil rights 44 years ago as a FAMU student.
“I marched and fought and went to jail in this very county and, 44 years later, not much has changed,” she said.
Sen. Frederica Wilson, D-Miami, yelled into a bullhorn that it’s “open season on black children in Florida from this day forth.”
“The message is, you can beat em, you can kick em, you can drag em, you can throw em to the ground, you can do anything you want to, and nothing, absolutely nothing will happen to you,” she said.
