The New Florida Majority on Saturday, June 30 sponsored Serious Games, a large scale com- munity-led mock disaster scenario and panel at Miami Dade College, Wolfson Campus. The event was designed to engage political figures, activists and community members to work to- gether to identify gaps in case of an emergency and to find ways to resolve the issues together. More than 130 community members came out to voice their opinions, concerns and offer solu- tions. “We were able to do the simulation,” said Nancy Metayer, Climate Justice Organizer with the New Florida Majority, an advocacy orga- nization. “It became very emotional for some folks because they were reliving their experi- ences from Hurricane Irma.” The simulation was followed by a group as- sembly with different officials, during which community members were able to voice their opinions and concerns. Several elected officials from Broward and Miami-Dade counties passed by the workshop. “They actually listened to the community about their concerns and solutions,” said Meta- yer.

  • The Origins and Early History of the Dade County Community Relations Board
    5 The Origins and Early History of the Dade County Community Relations Board Raymond A. Mohl Now concluding its fifty-second year, the Dade County Community Relations Board has had a fascinating and sometimes controversial histo­ ry. The CRB idea generally emerged in the postwar era in the context of a national discourse on race, ethnicity, and religion. The Dade County CRB’s founders drew on an important set of ideas known at the time as the “human relations agenda”—ideas developed during World War II and shaped by social science research and conceptualization focused on countering racial prejudice and religious bigotry. In the postwar period, metropolitan Miami experienced a rising level of racial, ethnic, and reli­ gious strife. Although the nation’s top tourist destination in 1950, the Miami area remained deeply southern in its racial attitudes and political culture. The Ku Klux Kian was riding high in the postwar years. Racial tension, street-level violence, arson, even dynamite bombs marked racial­ ly changing neighborhoods in the late 1940s and early 1950s, as African Americans began breaking out of the racially zoned areas that had kept them confine since the early years of the twentieth century. The large postwar Jewish migration to Miami from northern cities—8,000 Jews resided in metro Miami in 1940, rising to 140,000 in 1960—triggered overt anti-Semitism in hotels, clubs, housing, and employment, as well synagogues and Hebrew school bombings. Not surprisingly, Miami entered the postwar era with no human relations tradition. However, some Miamians who thought deeply about such things believed in the promise of the human relations agenda to overcome racial conflict and create a new sense of civic unity.

  • Coronavirus Equity Considerations
    Coronavirus Equity Considerations Coronavirus Equity Considerations The Imperative for Civil Rights Advocacy, Monitoring, and Enforcement A widely impactful public health crisis is upon us. The tentacles of its impact are many and pervasive, from social, to economic, to environmental implications. As a civil rights organization and as stewards of human rights, this outbreak calls on us to maintain vigilance and lift our voices to demand the policies and practices that will preserve the wellbeing of all. Already we’ve seen many equity and justice challenges that must be addressed before they worsen and cause further damage. We must recognize and stand up against racial/ethnic discrimination and stereotyping. Our federal, state and local governments must ensure necessary policies and practices are in place, so that needed information, training, resources, and care are available equitably and reach all people in all communities. As we think about the upcoming Census and elections, the novel coronavirus pandemic underscores the ongoing need to push for affordable, quality health care coverage; a well- trained, diverse health care and medical research workforce; and accessible sources of care (hospitals, Federally Qualified Health Centers) for all. At this same time, even as we advance changes in response to what’s before us now, we must examine the systemic inequities that have exacerbated impact and ensure that we begin to enact transformational societal shifts to address the root causes of vulnerabilities and systems failure.

It begins in 1783 during the last days of British rule and ends with the first generation of news websites. Old yellowed newspapers, rolls of microfilm, and archived web pages not only preserve stories about the history of Florida and the world, but they also give us insight into the people who have worked for the state’s newspapers.

  • Florida Historical Quarterly
    COVER Marion County’s Silver Springs, a spot sacred to local Indians which had awed white visitors since the 1820s, became a popular tourist attraction during the 1870s. Even before the Civil War important visitors like Lady Amelia Murray, lady-in-waiting to Queen Victoria, and Dr. Daniel G. Brinton, phy- sician and distinguished anthropological scholar, visited and wrote about the springs. Glass bottom rowboats, like the one pictured, early added to the appeal of the springs and their unspoiled surroundings. The rowboats are the forerunn- ners of the modern glass bottom boats for which Silver Springs is famous. This photograph, taken around 1902, is reproduced from Richard J.
