Editorial Florida and how 2019 is righting wrongs very state and its government have issues that need to be addressed, and Florida is no exception. Florida has made a number of mistakes over its entire 173 years of existence as a part of the U.S., many of them concerning racism. EThe new year marked the first time that Floridians con- victed of felonies will have the ability to vote in an upcom- ing election. This change in law came after Amendment 4 was passed in the most recent Florida election. Amendment 4 allowed nearly 1.5 million Floridians, about 10 percent of Florida’s adult population, to regain their right to vote. Many have seen the restrictions against formerly incar- cerated Floridians as an attack on minority voting in the state. More than 20 percent of otherwise eligible African Americans 18 and over were previously not allowed to vote, according to NPR. This new bill has the possibility to alter outcomes of entire Florida elections, a swing state that in recent elections has een red. We see barring formerly incarcerated Floridians from voting as an obstruction of justice, but the new law is a bright spot for the state in 2019. It marks a change in the right direction and begins to make amends for injustice. This year has also seen the pardoning of the Grove- land Four, a group of black men: Charles Greenlee, Ernest Thomas, Walter Irvin and Samuel Shepherd. They all were Column accused of raping a white girl close to Groveland, Florida, in 1949. The four men did not live to see their pardoning. Thomas was shot and killed when he was tracked down Rep.

Tyler Ritz doesn’t just want to be an as- tronaut. He also wants to leave a piece of his work in space. Ritz, a 24-year-old UF aerospace engineer- ing doctoral student, was one of more than two dozen UF students who, over five-and-a-half years, built the smallest satellite able to operate an atomic clock, which uses the most accurate time and frequency standards. The satellite made its way to space on Dec. 16. “It’s kind of bittersweet,” Ritz said. “You sit there with it 24/7, and it’s weird because that’s the last time anyone would ever get to see this thing because it’s getting launched 500 km in the air.” Rocket Lab launched the UF-built satel- lite and 12 other research cube satellites — a small standard-shaped satellite that does one job — as part of NASA’s Educational Launch of Nanosatellites, an initiative that was created to attract and retain students in science, technol- ogy, engineering and mathematics, Ritz said.

MEN’S BASKETBALL, from pg 14 White was quick to bring up negatives from the game. When asked if he had any positive takeaways, however, he had to stop for several seconds to think. It’s been that kind of week. The team fared better defensively, but still found itself out of position on key shots down the stretch. “We allowed a couple open ones in the last 10 minutes of the game off of lack of rotations, lack of communica- tion,” White said. UF gave up 18 points to UT star forward Grant Williams. It might have been worse for Florida if it didn’t use a zone defense. White said Williams could have scored 60 points if the Gators had played man-to-man. “We might have all fouled out, including me,” he said. Florida travels to Starkville, Mississippi, on Tuesday night to take on Mississippi State. The 12-3 Bulldogs have lost two straight to begin SEC play. A loss in that game could send UF into a downward spiral. It certainly isn’t panic time for Florida. The Gators have several good losses and have plenty more opportunities to prove themselves in an uncharacteristically deep SEC. White is worried about his team, though. That much is clear. Based on his comments Saturday night, it’s nothing new. “I was concerned after game one,” White said.
