There will be a concerted effort to request the school board to honor Mrs. Morgan by naming the new high school after her on September 5, 2024 at the school board meeting at 3:30pm.

Paul campaigns for Wimauma’s new library at Bethune Park be named for Mr. Berrien, a warrior for equal access to education, protecting the civil rights of children and pressing his case with Florida Governors.
