Dr. Patrick Mason, a descendant of Charles Rollins and John Proctor, provides insight into the African American struggle for equality in Florida during three significant historical periods: Spanish Florida (1770s-1821), Americanization and enslavement (1821-1865), and the rise and consolidation of Jim Crow (1865-1919). The stories of Antonio Proctor, George Proctor, and Charles H. Rollins are used to discuss and illustrate each period, respectively. These stories are a source of inspiration, reminding us of the resilience and determination of those who fought for equality in the face of adversity.
