The NAACP issued a formal travel advisory for Florida on Saturday saying the state has become "hostile to Black Americans" under the leadership of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.The advisory from the civil rights organization says that under DeSantis, Florida has "engaged in an all-out attack on Black Americans, accurate Black history, voting rights, members of the LGBTQ+community, immigrants, women's reproductive rights, and free speech" while "simultaneously embracing a culture of fear, bullying and intimidation" by public officials.The NAACP said its advisory comes in direct response to DeSantis' "aggressive attempts" to erase Black history and restrict diversity, equity and inclusion programs in Florida schools.Asked for a response, DeSantis press secretary Jeremy Redfern told Newsweek: "This is a stunt."
