Black Miami

Interstate is a powerful new documentary by Miami-based filmmakers Oscar Corral and Haleem Muhsin. Miami's Overtown is among several communities featured in the film.

Two out of five Miai city commission seats will be up for grabs. First is the District 3 seat in Little Havana and parts of Brickell. Also in the mix is the District 5 seat representing Overtown, Little Haiti and Belle Meade.

A $39 million U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant is funding the redevelopment of Overtown’s public housing and infrastructure. Residents and advocates fear displacement, cultural erosion and gentrification.

“Give Them Their Flowers” is a local exhibit paying homage to Miami's Black queer history and community. Loni Johnson is one of the participating artists. Her work focuses on honoring the people it was too late to honor in life, inviting us to remember and show love. She joined WLRN's Carlos Frías.

“Give Them Their Flowers,” a new exhibition at the Little Haiti Cultural Center Art Gallery, displays and celebrates Miami’s under-documented Black LGBTQ community at a time when Florida’s government has become increasingly hostile toward Black and LGBTQ representation.

The documentary, Crossing Overtown, explores the community's history as foundational not just to the city of Miami but also to the Civil Rights Movement.
