The Golden Side of the Tracks

The Golden Side of the Tracks

Miami was founded by Henry Flagler, the oil and hotel tycoon, but it was built by African-Americans and Bahamians. The black population was sequestered in Colored Town by Flagler often facing difficult financial and racial circumstances by the white population. Yet Overtown rose to become the Harlem of the South, a bustling African-American community. A fascinating history of oppression, cultural resilience and gentrification.
