About this listen

In honor of Black History Month, we welcome Dr. Dorothy Jenkins Fields who is responsible for the establishment of Miami’s Black Archives, the designation and restoration of the landmark Lyric Theater and other historic sites, the creation of the Black Heritage Trail, and the designation of the Historic Overtown Folklife Village as a National Trust “Main Street” community. She was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Humanities for her unprecedented research and documentation of African American history. We discuss what drove her to create the Black Archives and preserve a vital part of Miami's history, and how the community can learn from this invaluable resource.
