Five decades since the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s, today’s leaders say there is still more work to be done. As Matt Horn reports – the NAACP says the changes will start at the Florida Capitol.

50 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act – hundreds of Floridians of all ages marched to the state capitol. Say many of the things Doctor Martin Luther King Junior have fought for have yet to be achieved.

“He was more so about unity and I love that message because that’s what God would have us to do,” said Kim Smith.

Five decades since thousands marched on Washington to listen to Doctor King’s message, people now remember his legacy through worship.

“Dr. Martin Luther King Junior lived a life marked by courage, conviction and dedication to justice,” said Representative Alan Williams, D-Tallahassee.

“The Florida State conference, NAACP along with all its branches, especially this here in Tallahassee are currently putting together a battle strategy to fight against this administration and their continued attempt to hold back Florida’s goods from Floridians in need,” said Dale Landry, NAACP.

Landry says there has been a push in Florida to silent minorities. This includes what many say is voter suppression.

“Vote.” “And why?” “So we can help change the direction that Florida’s going, turn it back around,” said Landry.

The NAACP says this election will deliver a message that change will come.
