Every Saturday, my brother, sister and I walked to the Tower Theater to watch movies, cartoons, news reels and adventure seri- als. Twenty-five cents would buy admission, a drink and a bag of pop- corn. My family went to a downtown church so from my earliest years I was in downtown Miami at least once a week. As a result, I feel very much at home in downtown Miami, even today. There were four churches within walking distance of each other and their members frequently went to Luke's Drug Store between Sunday school and church. Attending a downtown church made it possible to know people from all over Greater Mia- mi. In high school, we even dated across town through friends we met in church youth groups. Because of these friends, I always saw Miami as a whole and not just as a sum of many parts. When I was in the fourth grade we moved to Miami Shores. I thought we had moved to Jacksonville. Although this was consid- ered an upward move for my family, I missed the old neighborhood and my friends. But I made new friends in Miami Shores, especially my best friend, Adele Khoury. We were the two How to write your own Miami Story For more information on the Miami Stories project or to share your story, please visit www.historymia mi.org/miamistories. tallest girls in the class and liked to call ourselves "back row" girls because we were always together on the back row in school pictures. We rode our bikes everywhere. We also went downtown on Bus 11 for a day at the movies and lunch at Royal Castle where hamburgers cost five cents. She remains my closest friend today. I got my sense of history and my passion for Miami from my father. He always had his nose in a history book, taught me historical facts, a love for the consti- tution and took me around and told me things about Miami. "Remember this," he would say. He ran for the City of Miami Commission when I was 5 and I remem- ber passing out brochures at a rally in Bayfront Park. He and my mother set a good example by being involved in the community. My family was ethnically Southern and I could talk and eat Southern -style. When it came to race, however, they were unlike most others who lived in then -segregated Miami. I was taught to respect everyone regardless of their race, religion, gender or ethnicity. My father often spoke out against segregation and anti-Semi- tism. Once, I remember being very embarrassed when he spoke out in a restaurant because the management would not admit black patrons. Years later, I realized how re- markable he was and how blessed I was to grow up in such an inclusive envi- ronment. I went to college and my first career was an Amer- ican history and govern- ment teacher. I taught at Miami Edison Senior High, my alma maer, the first year it was integrated. I also had a large group of young Cuban refugees in my class — many of whom had been sent to Miami without their parents. They taught me through example to respect the Cuban exiles who were moving to Miami. Many invited me to come visit them when they returned home to Cuba. Little did any of us realize that they would not be able to re- turn for many years, if ever. How lucky I was to be born and grow up in Mia- mi. Miami taught me to be open to change and to adapt to the unexpected. It taught me to accept peo- ple and welcome newcom- ers. It gave me an eager- ness to learn. When I began writing Miami his- tory and working to pre- serve its important places, I called on all these me- mories of people, places and events to help me. When I write about Mia- mi, I always include every- one in the story. Each day, I realize there is no better place to live if you want a jump start on America's future and always have a great story to tell. •'* Sealed Proposals for Public Relations July 1, 2020 by 1:00 p.m. Any RFP ov° `° CITY OF OPA-LOCKA `�= REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS r.aN' .i,� RFP NO: 20-0701100 , ° Public Relations and Marketing Consultant and Marketing Consulting Services will be received by the City of Opa-Iocka at the Office of the City Clerk, 780 Fisherman St, 4i° Floor, Opa-Iocka, Florida 33054, Wednesday, Package received after the designated closing time will be returned unopened.
