  • It’s one of the world’s most expensive zip codes. Home to the affluent, including a former President. The beginnings of the Town of Palm Beach and Palm Beach County, and the effort that brought thousands of black laborers to South Florida. A look at the community that blossomed in the process, the controversial historical debate, and the current efforts to pay homage to the past.

    I would have never knew about my city that I was born in if this video was not produce. My grandmother Annie Laura Turner was a home keeper, a nana, and a woman who kept up a judge home. Judge Mass. I was wanted to know the history about Palm Beach, and the start of West Palm Beach. For there is a significant distinction between the two home cities of Palm Beach County, FL.

    Logically it’s makes sense. If there was a black community there first how in the hell the WM started “ owning” their land out right when they were basically new comers. History at that time too with Jim Crow and etc.
    It’s ok. Karma has its way of circling back eventually no worries.

    Please include the entire history of the area, like the decades of drug dealers (especially crack), hookers, robberies, murders and rapes. The city built a beautiful and impressive Recreation Center that was soon horrifically trashed, graffiti and all windows smashed. Let's document real history.

      Crack wasn’t even invented in 1900 😂 crack didn’t come out until the 80’s

    The only thing that sucks is that Trump lives there.
