The Florida Civil Rights Hall of Fame honors people who have worked on behalf of civil rights in Florida.[1] It is located in the Florida State Capitol and is administered by the Florida Department of Management Services. It was created in 2010 by unanimous vote of both houses of the Florida Legislature.[2] [3]
In 2019, Florida governor Ron DeSantis added three inductees: attorney Daniel Webster Perkins, Dr. Charles Ullman Smith, and Henry “Hank” James Thomas.[4] [5]
