Mission Statement
• The Florida Historic Capitol
Museum serves to
illuminate the past, present,
and future connections
between the people of
Florida and their political
institutions through civic
education, historic
interpretation, and
preservation.

3. Environmental
preservation
Florida has one of the most
unique ecosystems in the
whole world. With this being
said, us as people need to do
our part in the preservation of
the environment.
The state of Florida and our
government have done a
good job restoring the
ecosystem damaged in
through the years. We have
created national parks, are in
the process of restoring the
everglades, and set regulation
on fishing and game

4. Civil Rights
Florida played a major role in the
civil rights movement where MLK
campaigned through the state for
equal rights.
In the city of Tallahassee there
was a strike vs. public
transportation where no African
Americans rode the bus after a
student from FAMU got arrested
for not moving the back for a
white woman.
The Florida Historic Capitol has a
bench from a former African
American school. Florida
desegregated public school after
the Brown vs. Board decision.

5. Immigration in Florida
Florida is a melting pot of
cultures from all around
the world with strong
influences from the
Hispanic and Caribbean
areas.
There was a large increase
to the population in Florida
after world war two when
the government
commissioned troops to
train in Florida; many of
them returned to Florida
when they got home from
war
