The State Archives of Florida is the central repository for the archives of Florida State Government. It is mandated by law to collect, preserve, and make available for research the historically significant records of the State, as well as private manuscripts, local government records, photographs, and other materials that complement the official State records. The images included here are part of The Florida Memory Program, which provides Web-based access to primary records that illustrate significant moments in Florida's history. The project also provides educational resources for students of all ages, and makes available collections for historical research. Florida Memory's goal is to make the collections of the State Archives available to the largest possible audience.

    Solo una maravillosa, sabia, ejemplar y buena persona pudo decir frases como las que dijo Martin Luther King Jr. Una de sus grandes reflexiones, fue esta:

    "Las personas se odian a menudo porque se temen; se temen porque no se conocen; no se conocen porque no se saben comunicar; no se saben comunicar porque se hallan separadas."

    If he was still alive in Oct 2024, he may have cried a tear in one eye of happiness for one Presidential candidate and a tear in the other eye of sadness for the second Presidential candidate who sadly won.
    I am not an American but still respect the man and his vision for the future.

    Her garment is very clearly not the 1890s, but it is circa 1870s, 1880s. Natural shoulder and below: a bustle.
  • Christopher Hemsworth said:
    Karin Joy Passmore "very clearly" is rather condescending.
