DeSantis appointee to Disney board taught seminar using discredited research claiming White people were slaves in America

  • Ron Peri, an appointee by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to oversee Disney's special tax district, made false claims in a seminar about critical race theory, including the existence of an "Irish slave trade" and the breeding of Irish slaves with enslaved Africans. These claims have been widely debunked by historians.
  • Peri also spread false claims that a significant number of free Blacks in the antebellum era owned slaves, a claim that reputable historians dispute. The actual number of free Blacks who owned slaves was minimal.
