@blackmiamidade: Did you know that in the 1960s, a Black Miami Christmas tradition was closing off neighborhood streets so the community could skate freely? From Coconut Grove to Overtown to Liberty City, hundreds of people took to the roads on their skates for Christmas Day and the day after. What are some of your favorite Black Miami Christmas memories or traditions? 🎄 #blackmiamidade #blackmiami #miamihistory #floridahistory #christmas

This is so beautiful & great to know!!! Born & raised in Atlanta, moving to Miami only recently, I’ve felt a sense of “outsider-ness” or like black American ppl/culture isn’t centered or celebrated in Miami especially not like how it is in atl…ofc I know white/latin are the dominant cultural forces down here today but this page & footage is really heartwarming & simply learning the history of black Miami (& living a couple mins from overtown) makes me feel a whole lot more welcome! 🙏🏾
