28 pages : illustrations ; 28 cm Teachers' manual for African Americans in Florida by Maxine D. Jones and Kevin M. McCarthy. A teachers manual that accompanies the text entitled African Americans in Florida. This teachers' manual is meant to accompany the text entitled African Americans in Florida.

The text is based on the recommendations put forth by the Study Commission on African American History in Florida, which was established by the Florida Legislature in 1990. The book integrates suggestions made by this and other educational commissions, by, for example, placing an emphasis on the role that history and geography have played in the story of African Americans of Florida.
