On Tuesday Café, we spoke with Cathy Salustri, the owner of The Gabber newspaper in Pinellas County and the author of a new book, Florida Spectacular.

In Florida Spectacular, Salustri writes about the history of the Spanish, French and English in Florida, about Florida’s natural beauty from its springs to the Everglades and Key West, and about important historical figures you may have never heard of like Emateloye Estenletkvte of the Seminole Tribe.

Salustri writes about travels through Florida at GreatFloridaRoadTrip.com and is a cohost of The Florida Spectacular podcast.

Two years ago the FBI raided the Uhuru House in St. Petersburg.

Then last year three members of the African People’s Socialist Party, or the Uhurus, were charged with covertly spreading Russian propaganda and illegally interfering in U.S. elections to sow discord in U.S. society.

We spoke to two of the defendants known as the Uhuru 3 who will go on trial next Tuesday, Omali Yeshitela and Jesse Nevel.
