    I went to public school in Florida, and can tell you that neither of those names were ever brought to discussion. I only learned about John Brown from YouTube in my later twenties.

      I went to public school in Florida and John Brown definitely came up in my history class. But that’s probably teacher and/or school district dependent, a friend of mine grew up in Ocoee and did not learn about the Ocoee massacre in school.
