In 1975, Florida's Escambia County and the city of Pensacola experienced a pernicious
chain of events. A sheriff's deputy killed a young black man at point-blank range.
Months of protests against police brutality followed, culminating in the arrest and
conviction of the Reverend H. K. Matthews, the leading civil rights organizer in the
county. Viewing the events of Escambia County within the context of the broader civil
rights movement, J. Michael Butler demonstrates that while activism of the previous
decade destroyed most visible and dramatic signs of racial segregation, institutionalized
forms of cultural racism still persisted. In Florida, white leaders insisted that
because blacks obtained legislative victories in the 1960s, African Americans could
no longer claim that racism existed, even while public schools displayed Confederate
imagery and allegations of police brutality against black citizens multiplied
