On Preservation
Jack Finglass has had a ring side seat in the fight to preserve the architectural heritage of Miami Beach. He chaired the Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board, which has had a say about the historically protected Art Deco district. But private residences, some of them architectural gems, are being replaced with the latest trend in steel and glass, changing the stately old neighborhoods of Miami Beach.
Filmed in April 2022, this oral history interview was produced for the Miami Beach Visual Memoirs project under a grant from the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority.

In the aftermath of World War II, cultural shifts and an emerging middle-class redefined Miami Beach from an elite winter re...

Why "Moon Over Miami" has little to do with Miami
Просмотров 1504 года назад
The popular song "Moon Over Miami" was written in 1935 by Tin Pan Alley songwriters Joe Burke and Edgar Leslie. Working in New York City they evoked the romance of a moonlit tropical night without ever coming to Miami. South Florida’s battering by the “hurricane of the century” that September may have lead the composers to use Miami in the title. The song's music was used in the 1941 film Moon ...

We were bamboozled, and then they indoctrinated our children to seal the deal. We never should've integrated.

    Me ,my mom and dad went to a restaurant one Sunday after church.As we were going down the line,picking our dishes,my mom looked up at the lady serving food and suddenly got quiet.I said "are you okay mom?".She hesitated,then said she wasn't feeling good and she was going to go pick our table and had my dad get the rest of her food for her.We got our food and met her.Sat down,and started eating.I could tell my mom was acting very strange,like she was mad.I could tell my dad noticed,but he didn't say anything. After eating the most awkward meal I've ever had,we tipped and left.I sad goodbye to them and we parted ways.Days later,after my curiosity just couldn't take anymore.I went to their house,when my mom was at work and asked my dad,is mom feeling any better.He said "what do you mean?" Then I told him I could tell something was wrong with her at the restaurant couple days ago.My dad paused a second,then told me.The old white lady serving food at the restaurant and her friends,use to bully my mom,when my mom and a few other black students were bussed to her school in the early 60s.She called her the nword all the time,spit on her,even took her homework and turned it in as her own one time.My heart sank.I couldn't believe she could even eat there,seeing that lady.I mean,I know it was so long ago,but I'm wondering if my mom got that same feeling,just seeing her,as she did when they were in school? Did that lady recognize my mom? Then it occurred to me.I wonder how many older black ppl have seen someone that treated them openly racist back in the day? How do they react? Just ignore them and keep it moving? I guess It wouldn't do any good to harp on it now.Do they still hate black ppl and they just tolerate them now? Did they pass their racism down to their kids? Because that would explain alot.Either way,I hope she gives some sort of signal next time,because you could cut that awkwardness with a knife that day.My mom is the first to forgive,but obviously not the last to forget..
