About

Convening Black Miami as a Method

Rooted in intellectual convenings, community expertise, and a commitment to Black Miami as a critical site of social action.

The Black Miami Studies Initiative brings together scholars, artists, and community members who understand Black Miami as a living site of knowledge, shaped through convening, lived experience, and collective inquiry.
