LIBERTY SQUARE: Power, History, & Race in Miami
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- 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).
In December of 2015, Dr. Moses Shumow, digital media faculty in the School of Communication and Journalism at Florida International University, was awarded a Restorative Narrative fellowship from the media nonprofit Images and Voices of Hope (ivoh), allowing him to produce a documentary film about the rich history and legacy of this community, as well as what its future might hold.

May look like loom and doom to some but my childhood in Miami is priceless. Thank you for showing the world the character of people that thrived from this environment.
Growing up in Miami taught me to be wise, strong, and a survivor!!! I thank my city for that. I left Miami a few years back and i never knew life outside of Miami was this peaceful. My only regret is that i dod not leave alot sooner.
I left 16 years ago and never looked back.
Jess Mills yes I’m saying it with tears in my eyes. I haven’t heard a gunshot in two years.
I moved to Hollywood from N.M.B 8 yrs ago. Still miss Miami go by every week. Just hate the drivers and traffic in Miami
Still here. Left once for a little bit. I love my city but it's always good to get out, at least once.
Where did everyone relocate to? Curious to know.
I lived here from 1990-2000. Although I've since moved out of the Liberty Square Projects(Pork N Beans) long ago, It still holds a very special place in my heart. As the Elders in this video mentioned, this place was not always drug infested and violent. When I first moved there at 5 years old, I stayed next to the wall that was put in place to segregate blacks from whites. At such a young age, I can still remember looking at the wall and wondering "what is on the other side of that wall." Bear in mind, the wall was much taller, and it was knocked down years later. However, my questions were never answered in those early days because we were not allowed to go on the other side. Sadly, we lived in 3 different sections of the projects (65th St & 12th Ave, 64th St &14th Ave, 63rd St & 13th Terr.) I was too young to understand why we switch units so many times. In hindsight, I believe we moved to a bigger unit each time to accommodate the 2 adults and 6 children that our family consisted of. There definitely was a sense of community in the 90's and early 2000's. Holidays were lively, and everyone celebrated without violence. Friends were plentiful, as each parent in the project had between 1-8 children. I have some of my fondest memories etched into the soil and concrete of Liberty Square. From double dutch, to hide and go seek, running to the candy lady house for frozen cups, dozens upon dozens of children in the streets getting wet by the fire hydrants, running to the ice cream truck, block parties, making homemade ice cream on the porch, dance contest, going outside on a Saturday morning after cartoons, and crying when its time to go in the house at night; and the list goes on. I must admit that I was oblivious to the history of the projects dating back to the 30's. I can only imagine the sense of community that those residents felt at that time. It is my wish and prayer, that the County does right by the residents of Liberty Square. Gentrification is taking place all throughout Miami's disenfranchised areas, and Liberty Square is no exception. Most minorities are unaware until its effects are evident (i.e. Wynwood). It is my belief that the Mayor's plan to clean up Liberty Square is...systematic. They will removed everyone from their units while construction is underway, and when it is time for old tenants to move back in, they will face major road blocks such as: criminal and credit background checks, income restrictions, waiting list, etc. Of the 2000 residents currently occupying Liberty Square, only 25% or less will return (not by choice but design). Just take a look at Scott Projects.Stay woke my people. If you can use this moment to better yourself and your finances, do so. Do not count on public housing! God bless the child that has its own.
Thanks so much for this in-depth and insightful comment. I hope the documentary was helpful.
Liberty Square Rising It was helpful and tear jerking.
I usually don't read long responses, however, I really enjoyed your contribution. I am from Miami and recently turned 40. I never resided in the projects but I did live in public housing. I share much of your sentiment and do miss the "candy lady" 😇
The current administration is into building walls, I believe we need to build bridges into the community, stand together and take back what the devil has stolen, their is no quick fix, gentrification is not the answer it will just lead to more dispersal and push the criminal element into other parts of town, affordable housing, black ownership of business and homes would be a good starting place. The problems with places like liberty Sq./ Pork & Beans is that they are transitional settings "neighborhoods of broken windows," places where nobody intends to stay for a long period of time. How can you have pride without ownership? The walls imprisoned black people, it was not to keep whites out, but keep blacks in.
Queen Belle Femme yes!
This documentary brings a new since of pride about my city. Miami's history is a remarkable one. We ride around and not have a clue about what took place on the very streets we drive down.
Thanks for the comment, LT. You've described exactly why I wanted to make this film and I'm so happy it's getting out there.
Bruh facts . I really think you would enjoy this bout library square

So very true
I always wondered about that damn wall smh.....I miss the elderly from the 305. Damn this connects what I was learning about the interstate situation. Wowzers 🤐.....now I understand why my grandmother was so happy and it was a big deal to live there. We moved there in a “shopping buggy” I was 5 years old. One thing is within our community we need to push forth education and to change our socioeconomic status. Rid the impoverished mindset .....also to eat healthy. I wish my granny was alive. So I can tell her I’m about to graduate from college and I’m fighting to make her proud. She died in there and didn’t have a grave.
Back in 1969 I was 15 years old selling ice cream from a truck,my brother was 17 he drives the truck I was in the window selling, lots of memories in that area ,by 27 Ave and 48 st the BBQ place, maybe still there? We saw Mahammad Ali , Cassius Clay used to have a house around.We gave free ice cream to those kids that didn't have money to pay,I remember few friends that used to live there , later on at 19 years I started to work on the rail road SCL and Amtrak.Had a mechanic friend in that area also I went to a school in over town Robert E LEE. No longer there.I live back then in Allapatta.Now I'm old 65... Back then everything was good and different.
I'm glad you family could afford a car.
I grew up in Liberty City.. It was different even in the late 80s. As kids we came outside & played, we went(walked) to church on Sundays in groups...AND WANTED TO GO. Sunday school and all. It amazing how things,tradition change over time.
I wonder why some people think the projects should be home for multiple generations.
Because these generations like to live in shit
Have some compassion we were released and given nothing after slavery some had to guidance and live their life the best way they know how
It's hard to get something when you have nothing for one and not everyone has the skills needed to do so. People don't seem to understand that wealth is generational, meaning it's aquired through generations and passed down so if your former generations were forced to work with no pay then there is nothing to pass down.
ToniA5555 one issue is they don’t allow one to save money. To be able to leave and change their situation. Some can’t afford to pay rent with their other expenses.
if u notice when neighbor hoods, and schools became intergrated that's when property and neighborhood violence rose in the black community. Black people wanted to own property, people had pride in the community. because blacks back then had pride. they had communities to protect the blacks didn't want to give white people any reason to look down on blacks. we didn't want to be stero typical blacks
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!!!
Liberty Square reminds me of the Jordan Downs projects in Watts, LA.
Wendell Hayes it sure does I been at Jordan Downs and hung out in the beans .. grape street ain’t no different from 62 st
Miami and LA look very similar. Also Honolulu does as well too. Believe it or not lita projects and hoods out in Hawaii
Ghettos across America look all the same because they are stricken with the same problems.
I got to see Liberty City, and I will see it again... Being from a hood, I fit in without a problem... Keep your head up, my strong black people 💯✊🏾2023 .
Where there's no vision ( fore sight ) the people perish. Poverty is a mentality... being in a financial institution should be momentarily. Your lifestyle is a reflection of what you are mentally... "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he"
I learned more from this video than anywhere else and I’m born and raised here.
This is very interesting and very well done. Thank you for posting this. It's sad, but very informative.
The projects they first show is made the same way as the projects in St.Pete, Florida call Jordan Park. They look different now due to redevelopment.
Really enjoyed this history lesson. Been living in Miami for 22 years and learned alot
Liberty square is a very big part of miami, florida historty!! It is sad to see them being torn down!!! I stay down the street from them!!!! For the last 4 to 5 years!!!
I would not live in that place for free rent please get out.
This was an eye-opener for me I live in a small town in Central Florida and I didn't think people in the big city have struggles as well so I learned something today
Thank you for posting this...though I've never been to Miami I grew up in a neighborhood like this in NC. It's amazing to see and hear the stories of yesteryears!!!! I haven't made it through the whole video yet I just wanted to take a min to comment...this neighborhood is def overdue for a change and I hope some of the life long elders are able to see their community as it once was!!! The mom with the 6 kids should hold her head up with pride she's raising some amazing young people and it's proof you don't have to be a product of your environment!!! I would love to see what my former neighborhood looked like back when it was first constructed!
thats whatsup
Im from Miami and I been to NC trust me the level of shit as far as poverty and crime and drug problems and stuff is no where near to what Miami is
I hate Miami
That's what happens when men whisper lies into your ears.
where are the father's for these six children.
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.
Public housing is temporary in a lot of countries. Because it's public not owned by you. When you go to work and build your reputation up you build your groups reputation up but also you can then purchase your family a home. Homes in the US are cheap. It's just takes motivation which comes from caring for your family.
Homes are cheap? Please stfu
@Orchid Mantis Still more affordable housing though in the US.
Sexist are you? Happy being the victim.@Ruyi87
Thank you for documenting what happened. People really think residents did all of the changes by themselves. The same thing happened to my hometown. GM was the culprit there. My prayers go to the past, present and future residents. ❤
I grew up I'm Miami! proud of it. it's all about the U. but I had friends in the beans that were good friends. but the prob was I'm white. we were good till we got there. the old heads were the greatest people I ever had time to spend with. but as time went on the place got more an more of a place I could not go. to my displeasure I was not wanted in the beans only cuz of my ethnicity. still got my boys down there but we got to get up outside " as the community call it" hope it gets better for all an gets to a point we can all show up! it's part of my childhood too
its tough in the beans. I stay in the triangle and i still know how hard it is out there
LordKlek did they start tearing it down? I’ve been gone for two years.
@@harlemantoinetterisingfrom4639 yes i’m working demo on it now it’s pretty crazy it’s been vacant for a little while but some people still live in there not everyone is out
There should be a limit of 5 years in which an able bodied adult can live in public housing
barryg44 Agreed!!!
ryan mcguinness the government put drugs in that community the government is the devil
+Golden Dawn what does that have to do with this comment
And then what?
barryg44 you colonizers love making rules lol
Generation after generation have settled here... smh
I totally get the devotion. It’s where these folks learned to grow up and deal with the world. Wherever you are from, we all generally just call it “home”
WE are at odds with the World and, Our Selves, Slavery did a Crazy job on most of us. And although Clewiston (West palm beach is my birth home) Ill never go back. Tis the same practically anywhere you go.
They are rebuilding it for the simple reason that Pork n' Beans is probably the most crime ridden hot spot in all of Miami. It is not an attach on black folks, it is an attack on crime. I bet that if liberty square was a peaceful little community they would not have done this. But it is what it is, and that is a factory of murderers and criminals because most kids that grow up there are getting all the bad influence they need to become a bad influence themselves. I think this project will bring a lot of value to Liberty City and hopefully make it a less crime ridden place which would be good for all.
Overtown and Brownsubs actually the worst
Y’all got to give liberty square it’s help with its people it will benefit all at the end.May God help them
LOVE Miami my second home I miss it
Born in raised in Dade 87 smh ....... Miami is Miami word's can't explain living off experience frfr Scott projects 71st Dogg pound 4eva...... 35yr old man ....grown up now with wife and kids living in bham Alabama still violent but not Miami.....thank God I made it ✌
Remember the Light Brothers from Dogg pound?
Some say there's a lot of black ghosts that haunt the pork and beans project 🤧
I thank God for public housing because it keeps people and families off the streets! I just wish this country did more for it's own people because as it stands the total number of People Experiencing Homelessness in the US is approximately, 4,609,826 and this SHOULD NOT BE.
They are so far away from being able to "grow", they do not even have the means to make it to the city :(
You want to “Preserve History” write a book.
If the Gov. wants to build a road they don’t give a damn who lives in the way. They gonna pay you what they want and build a road. You can’t do shit.
Agh HA HA HA. That is hilarious!
Because when the Hispanics came, they forgot about blacks.
People always say it’s your fault if your poor and lazy for not getting a job but down here in liberty city we don’t got jobs like that and not everybody got a car the city bus don’t even come most days because of the violence we known as the murder capital in Miami and people look at you funny when you say you from there and don’t even want to give you a chance work for them just because of that
It took him 4 years to keep this promise if it was Hialeah it would’ve been got done within a year 😴
Well this ain’t hialeah 🥱
In Switzerland where I live, dropping some litter is a huge crime, and shameful. Our log 5 bed roomed home near the mountains has never seen a policeman go by since I can remember, and every one respects life, and themselves to a very high standard. Lake Lucerne compared to Miami is no match.
Yes. People build their own dreams and reputations. Guess it's just what your are into. I hope Switzerland keeps it's peaceful culture and doesn't succumb. I live on an island no where near the US, probably has more crime than Switzerland but its not shootings and no fentynal etc.
rich folks in Miami beach try buy up all land in north dade to have more spot for tourists in south beach
RAKIEM ROWLAND like they should be doing
I left 12 years ago and miss all the food. But I am happy no gun shots.
Love my city it taught me all i know liberty city stand up 305
Had to check this out
Holy Moly! The First 48!
I hope they do not gentrify this neighborhood. Even though the neighborhood may have some bad things happen to it, it also has a rich history for it as well. I wouldn't want to see them get out of the neighborhood so that other people who once looked down on it could move in it.
Thanks for the comment. Completely agree -- unfortunately, gentrification of Liberty City seems inevitable at this point, but I hope that members of the community and those without who care will push as hard as they can to make sure that it is equitable and inclusive. The more we talk about this issue the better -- which is one of the goals of the documentary.
Or they could get a job & move some place better, that's what Oprah did
@@browneyedgirl4285 hello!!!!
@@libertysquarerising4711 tear it down and take poverty down with it. Build a museum, visit, and move on. The projects was never meant to be what it has become.

"I done took billy bike..sad to say" lmao
Thats why they hate black. Stupid idiot. He stole their kids bike.
Soon this what we all will have left, Documentaries of Black Miami 😔 It wasn't always bad from what I heard from elders, white folks push 20,000 plus black people out of OVERTOWN/COLORED TOWN which didn't give a lot of black folks a lot to work with. People like the white folks always see the bad in our community but don't understand the history of who destroyed our community first like a lot of black communities in America🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ and then one of gentrify it instead of making a difference for the black community 😡
The history is understood by those making the decisions and it’s just denied and disregarded as are the people...
How did white people destroy that community? From what I read from the 65 year olds, I thought everything was grand. Maybe these kids are eating the wrong SHIT from the music. I used to listen to rap and they are just eating the wrong SHIT.
@@christiannail1749 During segregation Black Miamians were only allowed to live in Coconut Grove & Overtown. E.W.F Stirrup assisted in the building of Coconut Grove and improved living conditions throughout Black Miami.Mr.Stirrup became the most successful black businessman in Miami at the time.He built over 100 homes in Coconut Grove and owned many businesses. Folks like you don't really do their true History research smh We have had multiple areas in Miami until White/Latin folks start to put plans to push the Black Community out. THEY DIDN'T TRULY WANT TO WORK WITH BLACK Folks in Miami but you're too blind to get that. You won't understand The truth because they are erasing what was Black Miami
@@christiannail1749 Kelsey Pharr saw several needs in Black Miami and filled the void. In 1914,he became Miami’s first licensed black embalmer and funeral director.Pharr was the first black to own and operate an ambulance service and opened the first community public telephone service in the area. Kelsey Pharr owned Pharr Funeral Home and the Lincoln Memorial Park cemetery.Lincoln Memorial Park cemetery was one of the premiere black cemeteries in the nation and many Black Miami pioneers was buried there. Over the years the condition of the cemetery has deteriorated. Read up on some real history of miami our taxpayer black folks money was supposed to go back in the BLACK Community from WAY BACK when. After segregation they still had black people enslaved by Red Lining the Black Areas in Miami
Pork n beans baby ..ol school love it you did a doc...I'm from the bottom ..n love it..quad city djs..used to battle JPE...
Please let's all not for get where black Miami's problem's started.
down town is like a ditto , of Tulsa Oklahoma, Cities in California, and Kenloch Missouri. Which is no more.
There's a guy who does research on segregation. He goes by Segregation by design. And he speaks about ALL of this.
All across the United state the low income housing has never change time have change but the way the government thinks of people is still the same my mom move in the liberty square back in the 50s she was bless to move to a brand new home in Richmond heights in 1965 the Political problem in Miami is forget people of Color History because I meaning other race wasn’t there Rip ms Range who was a big supporter of blacks justice
How do we think this history and current situation affects health care access? treatment? and health outcomes for these residents?
Come on Bulldoze it down and rebuild it. from the phoenix
I think Liberty Square is long overdue for an upgrade. I myself have never lived or visited Liberty Square but have rode pass numerous times and its always been quiet. Yes you do see a heavy police presence and of course it was during the daytime, but gang activity and drug violence for me I've always heard about it and seen it on television. I'm for one thinks this community needs changing but the problem is how can one defer the good from the bad. Lastly to the lady with the six kid's I don't know if you were scripted on what to say but you've been there since 2010 coming from Ft. Lauderdale you can't tell me you had know idea on what type of neighborhood you were moving in. I'll admit it's getting worser and worse but Liberty Square had been labeled a rough neighborhood way before you moved in. Overall this was a good documentary because it showed the history of the neighborhood, I just wish more was shown like the education aspect and other surrounding neighborhoods. For those that don't know the high school in the area was DA Dorsey senior high school, however due to the increase in the neighborhood and school a new school was constructed. Dorsey became an educational school while Miami Northwestern senior high school opened in 1955 and still in existence marking today 62 years old. Also surrounding areas such as Brownsville by the 60's became a black neighborhoodand later on Allapattah became back. Again great documentary.
09mrslick: Thank you so much for viewing the film and your thoughtful comments. This is precisely the kind of conversation that I was hoping to create with this documentary, and I agree with you that there were plenty of topics that as a filmmaker I didn't have the time to address but of course are so important. I hope you will share this film with other folks that might be interested! As for the Carla Hansberry, the mother of six living in Liberty Square, she was not scripted, but I think her kids were mostly just commenting on what they had learned during their time there. I thought it was important to include voices from the community that are often heard in the media, which tends to focus only on crime, drugs and violence. Also, I will be planning some community screenings and dialogues around the film, so please check the film's website: libertysquarerising.com for more info!
No prob and I think people need to know the history of Miami.
@@09mrslick I really enjoyed reading your contribution. Some of which I was unlearned.
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.
Slowly but surely they’re turning the city into Hialeah
Yeah it's like it's becoming an extension of east Hialeah
And I hate it
The problem is that they are not seeing the trouble they are causing by allowing crime to occur in that neigborhood! They are a target because they wont change so they are on the chopping block. Public housing is a stepping stone thats it, its not a place to be stuck in forever. Most of these people are not even paying taxes, just living off the government. I hate to say it they did it to themselves, as much as you talk about discrimination, Miami is a melting pot of culture where everyone has a chance to succeed, you dont need a job you need to create a business. But if you are not educating yourself, you become victim to the schemes of others. Come you can get a college education for free just by going to the Public library, thats how you escape your circumstances. Lazy people will always be the victims to those that work for the betterment of the community. If you are not producing where you live people will not want you there. So much can be said about this, its not judgement, its look at the actions or behaviors in that project and is it hurting the overall community? The truth hurts but the truth will also set you free!
They're not lazy they have 6 kidz lol
I wonder how the family that spoke first is doing
I pray for my people 🙏🥺
This is sad, my neighborhood & state was gentrified. We don't have beautiful elders like this & no sense of a family community anymore. Our people are dead or locked up & still dealing with Joe Biden & Bill Clinton's 1994 Mass Incarceration "3 strikes" crime bill & war on drugs bull crap 💩 or either been locked up since then.
It's sad that there's a lot of lost children in their families & community that make it hard for these good ones. I see such amazing things as an outsider 💔
Man I just pray for my people🙏😔
Sad.. Why would anyone love poverty?
Brainwashed by the SYSTEM..#1 weaken them with DRUGS #2 talk about racism n the past over n over..this keeps the resentment n bitterness going thus creating a poor attitude..laziness.lack of vision.etc...FOCUS N YOU CAN DO ANYTHING..THERES NO EXCUSES AT ALL
For some that's all they know.
how come you never see whites in areas like these?
Because whites aren't raised on government assistance for generations. It's a shameful thing to accept welfare in the white community.
@@fukcg00gle95 Out here in Colorado, I am seeing more out of state white people on assistance.
They're majority of the new welfare recipients & the illegals..
I was born in the pork and beans area and I'm 17 and I've lost 3 of my brothers to guns and 4 of them are in jail for murder I am adopted to a black family who lives here but I don't say I'm adopted because they raised me since I was 3 months and I've lost 20 friends to guns and I've lost my boyfriend by a guy who shot him 34 times
So sorry for all you lost .my condolences to you and your family. This documentary shown me a better way to live .. th-cam.com/video/Zg5AbuWPStQ/w-d-xo.html

Sorry for your losses & loved ones 💕
The k k k is unemployed because blacks are killing each other now.
Books up guns down!! No justice no sleep!!💪🏿💪🏿
4 year later, there's some change but the question is where are the residents of the beans, is they residents in the new liberty square. It was time for us to get a face lift but all these high rent prices I'd uncalled for.
R.I.P. Mr. Eric
Miami Born N Raised
Miami Dade county is nothing to write home about it's basically a giant Black and Latin ghetto at this point (you may have nice parts of the ghetto and not some nice parts of the ghetto) minus Miami Beach and some Jewish areas. Definitely not the best place to be Black unless you have a lot of money.
I love the beans we didn't have to leave for nothing we had everything there we didn't even have to leave for a job this shit is disgusting every time I look at my paycheck I think about this nonsense I'm paying for
They did the same thing in Dallas with interstate 75
Look at Jen 😂😍
It is Rodney King at 16:20.
I remember sliding threw there in 08 doing the 1st 48 error
The Beans
If you oppose razing this development, you have been there or lived there… I drive by frequently and it is a hell hole
They call a project a project cause it's a project government no why they trying to divide
This is what they are doing to Miami Gardens as well.
This was a really documentary
The first 48.
We are survives strong smart talent soldiers it's a village
Wish they make it in life .The are survivers .!!!
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?
I walked and drove does streets everyday.
Thank god i left
That why im still alive
Same ol playbook
I love were i come from
The candy lady with "frozen cupz"
I see that Rodney King wasn't just in L.A.
No matter what they're neighborhood will turn into hoods.
"They gave us a heater and no a/c"Nobody has to give you anything.My parents came from Cuba with nothing but the close they was wearing.All my realatives are very well off..they drive new cars and live in expensive homes..most of them don't speak English.
In Cuba you get free education though...and of course Cubans are privileged in Miami
Shut up u know shit
Probably will be replaced with luxury buildings and owned by rich Arab Oil Families and Rich Chinese. The land will be worth trillions with the water levels rising on the coasts.
even if they made these building out of gold they will be turned into shit by bad people in there....
It wasn't always bad, white folks push 20,000 plus black people out of OVERTOWN/COLORED TOWN which didn't give a lot of black folks a lot to work with. People like you always see the bad in our community but don't understand the history of who destroyed our community first 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
All of th4m have accents so similar to Bahamas wow
I do not get the argument, from the people??
It’s 2022 Carlos Jimenez, pork n beans still the same
dammit they already breaking it down
Yaa good ol pork an beans will always be like that.
Ima make a update on my channel of what the beans looks like NOW 😜😜
💯Cool....what’s your channel name? Because I am curious about it too I’m sure others are also curious...💪🏾✊🏾
Where the update ?
Liberty city real deal Miami strongest of the strong pork and beans
Great memory
It's village
