Crossing Overtown

"Miami's role in the civil rights movement lies hidden just on the other side of the tracks, as a small village continues to defy the odds and lead the nation on the road to social justice, and it would mean Crossing Overtown to get there."

About

"Crossing Overtown" examines the integral role Miami would play in the national civil rights movement and the long narrative of racial conflict that still resonates in the national conversation. Overtown is the oldest Black community in Miami and it would bear witness to the full arc of the civil rights movement.
