The Eatonville, Florida, community has won a significant victory! The Eatonville Town Council voted against rezoning the site of the historic Hungerford School, a school founded in 1897 to educate Black children, effectively blocking a developer's plans. The massive redevelopment could have erased the town's Black heritage and priced residents out of the community. "We were thrilled to see so many Eatonville residents make their voices heard. Through the grassroots organizing of the P.E.C. and other organizations, this community came together in a major way and pushed back against what they perceived as an existential threat, forcing their elected leaders to reconsider the best use of this historic property," said Malissa Williams, a senior staff attorney for the SPLC.
