The Hayling family was deeply rooted in education, service, and civil rights leadership, with multiple members connected to Florida A&M University. Dr. Robert B. Hayling was born into a family that valued education—his father was a longtime professor at FAMU, and all of his siblings pursued higher education as well.
As a family, the Hayloads were shaped by a strong commitment to advancement and community uplift, which influenced Dr. Hayling’s role as a key leader in the Civil Rights Movement in St. Augustine. His activism not only impacted his own life but also affected his family, who faced social and economic pressures during the struggle for desegregation.
Overall, the Hayling family represents a legacy of education, resilience, and leadership, contributing to both academic and civil rights progress in Florida.
