Florida Frontiers

David Levy Yulee was the first US Senator from Florida. Coming up on “Florida Frontiers: The Weekly Radio Magazine of the Florida Historical Society” we’ll discuss this complex historical figure. We’ll talk about the infamous Johns Committee that targeted homosexuals on college campuses in the 1950s and’60s, and we’ll look at Hurricane Andrew from a new historical perspective.

Today is the last day of the 74th Annual Florida Folk Festival. Come visit your friends from the Florida Historical Society in White Springs! We have educational exhibits, great books, and live music. It’s a beautiful morning!
