    I grew up in Miami. The first rime I saw a confederate flag outside of a textbook was driving up to DC when we stopped to get food in Jacksonville. This was in the mid 90s.

        Nopers. We took I-95 all the way up. However, when I was in middle school, I had a friend move from Miami to Orlando, and she had shared that there was a lot of racism there.
