LIBERTY SQUARE: Power, History, & Race in Miami
On January 29, 2015, Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez announced that Liberty Square, one of the country’s oldest public housing developments would be “razed and redeveloped.” Built in 1937 during the New Deal and under Jim Crow, the development was the first segregated public housing in the United States, built to house black residents of Miami moving out of the crowded black community in downtown Miami know as Colored Town (now called Overtown).

    Every time blk ppl feel an injustice has been perpetrated against them they destroy their own neighborhoods. Alot of the times blk owned businesses get caught up in the mix due to ppls ignorance. U can put up some new fancy buildings and clean it up but it will all just go to shit again after 10-20 years cuz blk ppls mentalities and outlooks on life make them not capable of keeping their neighborhoods clean from garbage and overall ghetto-ness and clean from crime and violence. White ppl and blk ppls differences go way beyond skin colour. Putting up some new buildings and plants and paint isnt going to change the mentalities and outlooks on life that ppl have. Untill blk ppl start looking down on crime and helping police instead of normalizing it and protecting criminals nothing will change.

    My family roots is liberty city! List of my family locations. 1 aunt stayed on 58 my uncle stayed on 59 across the street from the park. my other aunt and cousins stayed on 60th and 15th Ave. Then my other aunt and cousins lived in the P&B. I left and went to live in L.A. in 2002 I left got tired of seeing people I know die young especially. Liberty city in my opinion even though it was a bad area I was good everyone respected the Yahweh Ben yahweh organization members. Rip to so many lost, last I heard everything has changed especially the P&B projects and surrounding areas.

    I'm confused about why segregation is considered bad when you clearly prefer to live with others with your own skin color and threaten others who want to live near you. It's more confusing when you are also violent toward each other and then proud of yourself for surviving what your doing to yourself. 85% of Miami is non-white, and the real estate industry "gentrifying" your area is hispanic as is your local government. But then you brag about having money and cars illegally? So confused. Would the world be a better place if you were in charge? Are you walking above the rest of us? Wouldn't it actually be harder to get yourself to study every night or something? Why is it about race and not class?

    When black people got out of slavery, they had absolutely nothing, and the United States did everything they could to keep it that way. But the United States Gave white people from Europe, land and house. So if a black person has anything today, God gave it to them.

  • @diannh2894
    @diannh2894 2 года назад

    Everyone should learn that these neighborhoods were purposely segregated due to racist policies. The music industry, the lack of food, clean water, education, closed down industries, decent living conditions, and work had led to the decay of urban neighborhoods. You can't blame people when this is what they were born into and expected to survive in. To everyone who made it out, god bless you and I am so proud of you!!!

    I’m 22 and I grew up in Miami’s southwest neighborhoods. Going to school I remember having a classmate from every country I could name in Latin America but very few black or Haitian classmates. Now I work in a research clinic in Brownsville close to liberty square and being in this part of town gives me a unique vibe, reminds me of old school Miami and 90s Miami bass and rap songs. The same way the historic Latin neighborhoods like little Havana have their own unique vibe same goes for the historic black neighborhoods in NW Miami. A lot of people I work with have been long time residents and they tell me how sm has changed in the area over the years sometimes for good and other times not so good but they still say they love their neighborhood and wouldn’t wanna live anywhere else in the city.
