Following a call by the NAACP's Derrick Johnson asking Black student-athletes to consider boycotting Florida public colleges and universities, the local Tallahassee chapter of the NAACP is offering guidance for students who wish to do so. 

According to WCTV, the president of the Tallahassee chapter of the NAACP, Mutaqee Akbar, explained that the letter from Johnson was connected to the state’s decision to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs at all Florida universities. Akbar said students could consider going to universities outside of Florida and that if students want to stay in-state, they could consider going to an HBCU.
