Dr. Marvin Dunn, a historian, author and retired professor from Florida International University, has brought together this important exhibit. Dr. Dunn has collected thousands of images, documents and photographs depicting the entire span of black existence in Florida since the arrival of the conquistadors in 1513. Many of the images in this exhibit appeared in Dr. Dunn’s book, Black Miami in the Twentieth Century which traces the triumphs, drudgery, horrors and courage of African Americans during the first hundred years of Miami’s history.
