“It’s a reminder of a town I grew up in that has changed tremendously,” said Perry, Jr.
“We’re standing on the shoulders of our ancestors and those who have come before us,” said Mayor Demings.
Mayor Demings, who is also the first Black man to hold that office, said it was an honor to be part of this project.
“If we fail to understand the history we have been through then perhaps we will fail to understand the destiny of where we will ultimately end up,” said Mayor Demings.

“We wanted, really, a spectrum of different kinds of folks who all lived their own lives and overcame tremendous obstacles to get to where they got to,” said Holbart, talking about the people showcased in the film.
Everyone involved acknowledged the massive strides that have been made, but say there is still work to be done.
The merit of this movie is that it teaches us, lets learn about our history, so history does not repeat itself,” said Perry, Jr.
“In America, think about the leader we really could be if we stop hating the person next door and started working together,” said Former U.S. Representative Val Demings in the film trailer.
Channel 9 will be exclusively airing the “Know Your Place” on Saturday February 10th at 7 p.m.

The Vikings’ new DT Caleb Banks has strength that fits his massive size
The Vikings snagged a very big, very strong defensive tackle with the 18th overall pick in the 2026 draft with Caleb Banks out of Florida. Here’s everything you need to know.
What the Vikings are getting:
Massive interior defender with elite length and measurables that do not grow on trees. That length paired with an explosive first step allows Banks to get into the chest of linemen suddenly and violently where he’s able to control the action from the jump. Banks plays with good pad level for his height and delivers real knockback power. However, his motor burns hot and dies fast if he does not win within the first few moments following the snap. Second wave rush attempts and cleanup sacks won’t be abundant. Still, a team will be banking on dominant traits that could lead to a number of plays being snuffed out before they ever begin.

Florida couple in alleged embryo mix-up have identified biological parents of ‘non-caucasian’ baby
A Florida couple who claimed a fertility clinic error led the woman giving birth to a “non-Caucasian child” who was not related to them said they have identified their child’s biological parents, according to reports.
“The results of testing delivered to us today confirm that our baby’s genetic parents have been identified,” Tiffany Score and Steven Mills said in a statement obtained by People on Wednesday.
Score and Mills filed a lawsuit in January against Fertility Center of Orlando and its head reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Milton McNichol, alleging that another patient’s embryo was implanted in Score’s uterus in April 2025.
The mix-up led to the birth of their now 4-month-old daughter, Shea, who is not biologically related to them, the filing alleged.
“This ends one chapter in our heartbreaking journey, but it raises new issues that will have to be resolved,” the statement continued. “In addition, questions about the disposition of our own embryos are still unanswered and are even more unlikely to ever be answered.”
“Only one thing is as absolutely certain today as it was on the day our daughter was born —we will love and will be this child’s parents forever.”
The couple added that they will respect the privacy of Shea’s biological parents and will keep their identities “confidential.”
Score and Mills, who are both white, stored three viable embryos at the Longwood clinic in 2020 for in vitro fertilization, a process that creates embryos and stores them until pregnancy.
Five years later, after an embryo was implanted, the couple gave birth to a “beautiful, healthy female child” on Dec. 11, 2025, according to the lawsuit filed Jan. 22 in Orange County Circuit Court and obtained by Law & Crime.
“Tragically, while both Jane Doe and John Doe are racially Caucasian, Baby Doe displayed the physical appearance of a racially non-Caucasian child,” the lawsuit said.
Further genetic testing confirmed that baby Shea had no biological relationship to either parent — raising questions about where their embryos had gone or whether another woman was impregnated with their biological child.
The new parents had an “intensely strong emotional bond” with their child during pregnancy and wished to keep the girl, but recognized she “should legally and morally be united with her genetic parents so long as they are fit, able and willing to take her,” the lawsuit stated.
Scarola told People, following Wednesday’s development, that Shea’s biological parents have not made any requests to take her into custody.
“Remaining questions about the fate of Tiffany and Steven’s unaccounted for embryos…are still pending,” Scarola said.
“The current legal proceeding will remain open to address those matters,” the attorney added. “However, we expect that we will now also begin to focus on the need for our clients to be compensated for the expenses they have incurred and the severe emotional trauma that they endured and will continue to experience.”
The Fertility Clinic of Orlando announced earlier this month that it would close by May 20 — a decision leadership said was made after “thoughtful consideration.”
Neither Scarola nor the clinic immediately responded to The Post’s request for comment.
