We at Museum of Miami are working towards telling an inclusive story and yet acknowledge that the whole story cannot be taught over the course of these five weeks. We hope this class inspires you to dive deeper into the diverse history of South Florida and the people who made it their home. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Area’s Early History\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n This lecture will focus on the area’s indigenous peoples\, who lived here at least 10\,000 years ago. Important archaeological discoveries along the Miami River and near Biscayne Bay in the past half century have opened our eyes to this fact. Others who will be discussed here include the Tequesta Indians\, arguably the descendants of the first peoples\, Spanish missions to the Tequesta and Seminoles\, who came to South Florida in the early 1700s\, and played a consequential role in shaping its development in subsequent centuries. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Homesteading Era\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Before there was a city of Miami\, there were numerous homesteading communities that dotted the areas looking out upon Biscayne Bay in the second half of the nineteenth century. Although these settlements were small in size\, they were consequential in laying the foundations for not only the future City of Miami\, but also other important centers of vast Miami-Dade County. These pioneers helped give direction to the evolving communities following the railroad’s entry into Miami in the late 19th century. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Incorporation and The Early Years of the City of Miami\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n The entry of Henry M. Flagler’s Florida East Coast Railway in Miami in 1896 brought monumental changes to the area\, since it connected it by land\, for the first time\, to points north. The City of Miami grew quickly after the rail’s entry and influenced the development of many other portions of the county. Early on the nascent city was a magnet for various races and ethnic groups. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Boom/Bust and the 1920s\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n The great real estate boom of the mid-1920s transformed Miami and its environs from a frontier city surrounded by several agricultural settlements into an emerging metropolitan area. For the first time\, the area was in the national limelight\, as visitors and investors rushed to its sunny shores to get rich in real estate ventures. New communities like Coral Gables\, Miami Springs and Miami Shores were products of the Boom. The bust that followed in 1926 and thereafter previewed for the nation the Great Depression that descended upon it following the stock market crash in 1929. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Depression and War\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Despite challenging economic conditions\, the Depression Decade was eventful\, with Greater Miami experiencing growth in many sectors while positioning itself as a major tourist and aviation center. Further\, the area arose from the economic quagmire more quickly than much of the rest of the nation. \nGreater Miami thrived in the wartime decade of the 1940s\, serving as an immense training base for hundreds of thousands of men and women in uniform\, while positioning itself through its exposure to many who migrated here after the conflict. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Post-WWII Boom\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n The construction\, population\, and tourism booms that followed the end of World War II drove the area to new heights\, placing it squarely in the front ranks of America’s metropolitan regions. Areas that were still swampland and piney woods before the war were now hosting new suburban communities. A robust airport and seaport exposed millions over the course of the postwar decades to the magic of the Magic City. Beneath the gloss of this sparkling area\, minorities were fighting for rights\, environmentalists were lobbying for the protection of its unique ecology\, and law enforcement agencies were tamping down on spiraling crime. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Emergence of an International City\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n Miami and Dade County recognized early in their development that geography often determines destiny. The area’s close proximity to Cuba\, the Caribbean\, the West Indies and even South America made it a haven for people fleeing the tyranny and economic malaise of nearby countries for the freedom and opportunity afforded by the United States. Miami became ground zero for this process and\, in the process\, was transformed into a flourishing international city. \nWith its increased urbanity came a cultural renaissance and a rebirth of venerable center city neighborhoods. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeatured Speaker:\n\n\n\n\nPaul S. George\, Ph.D.Resident Historian\n\n\n\nFor over three decades\, Museum of Miami’s Resident Historian Dr. Paul S. George has toured his way to local\, national\, and international acclaim with his continuing series of historic tours. Through walking\, coach\, and boat tour experiences\, Dr. George has welcomed tour participants on a memorable journey of South Florida through its historic neighborhoods\, landmarks\, and sites. As a Miami native\, author\, and former college professor\, Dr. George has gained fame for his uncanny ability to recall the most impressive details about the people and places that make South Florida so unique. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibilityTo request materials in accessible format\, sign language interpreters\, and/or any disability accommodation\, please contact Hana Squires\, Accessibility Coordinator\, at accessibility@museumofmiami.org or call (305) 375-1621 at least two weeks in advance of your visit to initiate your request.

Incorporating archival items like found imagery\, objects\, writings\, and ephemera\, Fola has reconfigured their own conceptions of narratives\, mythology\, and illuminate connections to sites and spiritual practices. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibilityTo request materials in accessible format\, sign language interpreters\, and/or any disability accommodation\, please contact Hana Squires\, Accessibility Coordinator\, at accessibility@museumofmiami.org or call (305) 375-1621 at least two weeks in advance of your visit to initiate your request.

But Florida\, one of the first states to secede\, played several key roles in the war. A hotbed of slavery\, it was the site of a bitterly contested federal fort\, its vast coastline proved nearly impossible for the Union to blockade\, and it saw an important battle – Olustee – where atrocities against Union soldiers of color were committed. In this thought-provoking conference\, leading historians will explore the issues of slavery and freedom\, battles and leaders\, and war and reconstruction in Florida – one of the last states to cling to rebellion and slavery. The Presidential Symposium will take place from 2:00-4:00 p.m. and a reception will follow from 4:00-5:30 p.m. Pre-registration is recommended as seating is limited. \n\n\n\nOur Moderator & Panelists:\n\n\n\n\nHarold Holzer\, ModeratorJonathan F.
