Business Leaders Sponsor Selma Tickets for Students Nationally Thanks to a group of generous African-American business leaders, stu- dents in several U.S. cities can see Selma, a film based on the 1965 vot- ing rights marches from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, for free. Tickets for 27,000 students in 7th, 8th and 9th grade in New York City were sponsored by 27 Black business leaders in an effort that is now sold out, according to Paramount Pictures. Now, the group is extending the sponsorship to students in the same grades in Philadelphia; Nashville, Tennessee; New Jersey; San Francisco; Sarasota, Florida; and Westchester, New York. More cities will be added on Jan. 14, according to the site. The special tickets are available between Jan. 12 and Jan. 19 or while supplies last. To redeem tickets, students must show their student ID or report card at the box office of one of the theaters on SelmaStudentTickets.com.

It begins in 1783 during the last days of British rule and ends with the first generation of news websites. Old yellowed newspapers, rolls of microfilm, and archived web pages not only preserve stories about the history of Florida and the world, but they also give us insight into the people who have worked for the state’s newspapers. This chronology only scratches the surface of a very long and complex story, but hopefully it will serve as a useful reference tool for researchers and journalism historians.
