I Survived Dozier by Richard L Huntly

Mr. Huntly has presented an accurate account of his youth and how young boys were forced to abandon their childhood. The state of Florida had a system that removed boys from their families and placed them in the infamous Florida School for Boys, also known as, The Arthur G, Dozier School for Boys. This facility was also known as the deadliest reform school in America. These young boys were deprived of their human rights, under-educated, and doomed to slave-like manual and farm laborers. Mr. Huntly describes his fears of an untimely death, or of being one of the many missing boys, as well as the horrific conditions while working in the slaughterhouse. He tells how the young black boys suffered like that of slaves. These young boys worked under more severe conditions than the white boys, and years later the unmarked graves of several boys were discovered. After more than sixty years, Mr. Huntly still bears the physical and mental scars as a testament to years of severe abuse.
