From The Historical Museum of South Florida to the World Erotic Museum in South Beach, I have compiled a brief list of the extreme variety of events this week, capping off February’s Black History Month.
This is the first exhibit at newly opened Black Police Precinct and Courthouse Museum
In celebration of Black History month, the City of Miami celebrates the opening of “In the Line of Duty”, an exhibit on the history of Miami’s first Black officers. During the month of February individuals and groups will be able to tour the exhibit on Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. For more information residents can call (305) 416-1300 OR contact the Office of Commissioner Michelle Spence-Jones at 305-250-5390.
Black Police Precinct and Courthouse Museum, located at 1009 NW 5th Avenue, behind the Jefferson Reeves Clinic. The exhibition details the history of the building and of Miami’s first Black officers.
Historical Museum of South Florida opens it’s new exhibition March 5th through January 24th, 2010 ( one would think they would’ve opened this exhibit the beginning of February’s Black History month, but nevermind)
Settling in 1896, this diverse group of black African Americans, Africans, black Caribbeans and black Hispanics have greatly influenced Miami over the past 100 years.
