The Florida State Teachers Association (FSTA) was an organization of Black educators, administrators, other staff, and parents in Florida. African American teachers faced discrimination and underfunded schools. Educators in the group served as activists advocating for civil rights and educational opportunities.
It was the largest teacher organization in Florida. Hubert Humphrey prepared a speech to the group in 1964. The group published the Florida State Teachers' Bulletin.
The Tampa branch helped organize the Turner v Keefe lawsuit targeting lower pay for Boack teachers.
Emmett W. Bashful, a political scientist at Florida A& M University, sought to survey members about voter registration and voting by group members.
The Florida Archives include a photo of the group's kitchen in Tallahassee.
Edward Daniel Davis and Gilbert Lawrence Porter were leaders in the group. A book discusses Porter's work and a Miami elementary school is named for him.
School boards closed schools for African Americans and many black teachers and administrators lost their jobs.
