On this last day of Black History Month, a powerful new memoir shares a story unique to Jacksonville.
Nat Glover is a community leader who served as the first Black sheriff in Florida since the period after the Civil War. He grew up as a young Black man in the then-segregated city of jacksonville, survived the notorious Ax Handle Saturday assault on civil rights activists and realized his dream of joining and rising through the city's often blatantly racist police force of the 1960s.
Glover joined us to talk about his memoir, "Striving for Justice: A Black Sheriff in the Deep South."
