Not in Miami. Yes, there are mostly Black neighborhoods, but the mostly Cuban neighborhoods have mixed public schools. That was the entire point of Brown v. BoE anyway.

Go see Belle Glades Correctional institution. The Florida department of corrections tries very hard to keep it’s prison system as integrated as possible, however more African Americans are sentenced to prison every year than people of European descent. Belle Glades is the catchall for the worst and most violent offenders in the system, it is the threat the staff at others institutions use (especially on whites), “If you keep acting up we will send you to Belle Glades.”

Belle Glades population is close to 90% African American and is literally hell on earth for everyone no matter their race. Florida does not have a “supermax” prison with adequate security and separation protocols to keep extremely violent offenders away from each other. The Dept. of Corrections sends all their violent trouble makers who repeatedly physically assault other inmates to Belle Glades.

If you want to complain about segregation in Florida complain about the “Gladiator School” (that is what the inmates actually call it) at Belle Glades.
