Tallahassee church hosts prayer service against death penalty

Residents concerned about the rapid pace of state-funded executions will gather at Good Shepherd Catholic Church on Nov. 30, for a bilingual prayer service calling for an end to the death penalty. Florida is one of 27 states with the death penalty and leads the nation with 19 of the 32 executions carried out as of Nov. 6, according to the Death Penalty Information Center in Washington, D.C. Florida ranks second among states in the number of executions since 1977, with 144. The state also imposed 1,118 death sentences from 1977 through 2025. Last year, the state executed a record 19 people and is scheduled to execute its 21st inmate of 2026 at 6 p.m. the day after the service. The service is open to the public. The names of 144 people executed by the state since 1976 and their 282 victims will be read aloud. Father Dustin Feddon, director of Joseph House for men reentering society from prison, will serve as the spiritual leader of the service.

Florida races to preserve Black history as erasure threatens legacy

A historical marker unveiled Monday in Florida's capital city honors Lydia G. Smith, a free Black woman who arrived before the Civil War and later opened a school for Black children. But questions remain about whether other trailblazers are given their proper due. It's the 10th marker installed this year by the Tallahassee Historical Society as part of the city's bicentennial projects. Bob Holladay, president of the society, said Smith accomplished much despite the limited opportunities available to Black women at the time. "She accomplished a great deal in a time in which she had a lot of headwinds against her. Leon County was almost the very definition of what historians would call a slave society," Holladay explained. The marker stands on Park Avenue, behind the former St. James Methodist Church, which Smith and her husband helped establish. The building now houses Florida TaxWatch . The Florida Division of Historical Resources supports local partners with the projects but organizers pointed out development, neglect and other factors make it hard to make it a consistent priority. Holladay stressed Smith’s legacy is one of perseverance and change in a small corner of Florida. But as a Black woman living under segregation, even

Tallahassee business leaders brace for Mayor Jeremy Matlow era

A war of words for years has pitted progressives in power against influential developers, business owners and other leaders in how Tallahassee should grow. Tallahassee City Commissioner Jeremy Matlow , a vocal critic of the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce in the past, will be the new mayor in a matter of days. PJ Perez, a political newcomer on Matlow's progressive slate, was elected to Seat 3, replacing Matlow there. For the private sector, all eyes are now on City Hall. In interviews with the Tallahassee Democrat, some business leaders said the city's sluggish growth will only get worse. They say not to expect any groundbreaking economic developments in the months ahead. While others, even with the acrimony and tough talk leading up to the election, say there needs to be a willingness to move forward and band together on priority issues. Matlow said he understands the concerns but added "we have a mandate for change." "People want to see our community go in a different direction," said Matlow, in an interview with the Democrat. "I actually think when we look over the stagnation of the last decade, the lack of growth was part of the issues we're having at City
