Reubin Askew, governor of Florida from 1971-1979, known as "Reubin the Good," died earlier today in Tallahassee. Our clip records Askew at the dedication of Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park on March 12, 1974.

Askew, remembered as one of Florida's best governors, is remembered for his advocacy of civil rights, transparency in government, and the bond of trust that he established with his fellow Floridians.

Steve Bosquet's obituary of Askew in the Miami Herald traces Askew's tenure as governor in detail. It can be accessed at http://www.miamiherald.com/2014/03/13
