No, but Mariel contributed to an adjustment of the demographics and an understanding of oppression. It made Miami even more cosmopolitan.

My wording could have been better. I meant Mariel changed demographics and ended up having a positive impact.


Oh, absolutely. That was one of the reasons I chose UM.

But it also complicated the racial dynamics, because the Cuban immigrants were able to attain power and influence much more quickly and much more easily than the (longer-tenured) black community in Miami.

There's a lot of history to unpack there, from the way that that I-95/195/395 destroyed Overtown/Liberty City/Wynwood, to the changes that had to be made to the city commission (all of the seats used to be "at-large" and then had to be districted when Cuban candidates began winning seats that had previously been "reserved" for black candidates, don't even get me started on that subject).
 
On an optimistic note (and it is hard to know for certain), but we should be coming up on THREE MILLION page views soon...

Congrats to all.

I would thank my lord and savior Jesus Christ first, but I think all the credit should go to the Gaytor porsters who made this all possible.

Yea I saw that but Why isnt there something more in depth about it.

It is crazy to me how Blacks in Dade and Broward have no power.

A documentary came out earlier this year called " When Liberty Burns"

When you mean power are you talking governmental?
