Miami author on her Pulitzer-winning Harriet Tubman book, South Florida's new boating laws and Florida's weak patriotism

from The South Florida Roundup

On the South Florida Roundup, we talked with the Miami native Edda Fields-Black — winner of the Pulitzer Prize for her history of Harriet Tubman and the pivotal Civil War raid on the Combahee River (01:08). We also examined Lucy’s Law — a bill that was just passed by the Florida Legislature to strengthen the state’s boating codes after Luciana Fernandez’s tragic death (19:34). And we looked at how we measure patriotism — and why Florida keeps finishing near the bottom in one patriotism survey (34:18).
