Starting Tuesday March 24 we will begin a new series on Interstate Highways through Florida and how they impacted historic African-American neighborhoods.

We also congratulate Florida and Miami for making the NCAA Tournament again but more importantly pay tribute to USF and UCF for making it this season which is rare for both schools! Cheer for the Florida schools in March Madness!
