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.
