TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - Tuesday's inauguration will be the latest in Florida's history books and that history was shared through a special presentation at the Historic Old Capitol.
On Saturday, Florida State University Professor Emerita Elizabeth Goldsmith told stories of notable gubernatorial inaugurations and compared them to the presidential ceremonies at the White House.
The Fulbright Scholar said it's important to understand how the Sunshine State has handled this event, year after year.
"History matters, that is always my theme. It matters to know and to understand, and every time you go by this building you will have different feelings about it," said Goldsmith.
Goldsmith was invited to speak as part of pre-inaugural activities, leading up to Tuesday's inauguration.
