MIAMI-DADE – Black Miamians of all nationalities and backgrounds will come together to advance a common agenda at the second annual “One Heritage: State of Black Miami” forum.
Miami-Dade County Commissioner Jean Monestime and his colleagues on the Miami-Dade County Commission in association with Florida Memorial University and other community stakeholders will convene a community conversation and assessment of Black Miami’s state of economic prosperity, community development, and our youth next generation as well as bridging the gap.
