JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Vice President Kamala Harris made a trip Friday to Jacksonville to deliver remarks on the fight to protect fundamental freedoms.

Harris spoke specifically on the "freedom to learn and teach America's full and true history."

This visit follows a day after the vice president's speech at the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. National Convention where she touched on guidelines released this week in the Sunshine State on the teaching of Black history.

"Just yesterday, in the State of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery," Harris said during her speech. "They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us, and we will not stand for it. 

"We who share a collective experience in knowing we must honor history and our duty in the context of legacy."

She flew into Jacksonville International Airport on Friday morning.
