The history-making victories of Florida and Georgia's newly elected governors hit home for Florida A&M University . While Florida Governor-elect Byron Donalds – a former FAMU student – will become the first Black individual in the state to take on the role when he assumes office, Georgia Governor-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms – a FAMU graduate – becomes the first Black individual and the first woman elected governor of The Peach State.

Florida state parks unveil new manatee experiences

The beloved manatee is a Florida icon, and several of our state’s award-winning state parks provide both critical habitat for manatees and educational experiences and programs to help park visitors create connections with these gentle giants. November is Manatee Awareness Month — Former Gov. Bob Graham first made the designation in 1979 — and the Florida State Parks Foundation celebrated the occasion by announcing a new wave of manatee-related resources for four state parks, all of which are no more than a day trip from Tallahassee. The Jacksonville-based Delores Barr Weaver Legacy Funds, a longtime partner of the Foundation, donated $250,000 to help bring these new resources to fruition. “Mrs. Weaver made an incredible investment in Florida’s state parks and manatees,” Florida State Parks Foundation CEO Julia Gill Woodward said. “We are thrilled to see that these projects have come to fruition through her generosity.” Want to check out the new features and experience Florida’s manatees this month? Start down the road in Levy County, where Manatee Springs and Fanning Springs state parks have each received new signage to inform visitors about Florida’s manatees and how to best share our state’s waterways with them.
