We Repealed the Alien Land Law!

We celebrate the passage of Amendment 11 on November 6, 2018!  This Amendment removes the “Alien Land Law” from the Florida Constitution, which was a vestige of a racist and ignorant past as a result of Asian fervor in the western United States in the 1920’s.  Prior to the passing of Amendment 11, Florida remained the only state with a facially discriminatory “Alien Land Law” in its Constitution.  Thank you, Florida voters!
