Long Time Coming
Overtown has its own Website, created by the Overtown Civic Partnership and Design Center. Nice to see such an historic part of Miami finally get its spot on the Web. There's news about projects, community information, and lots more. For background there's a whole section covering Overtown's history, demographics, a factsheet with community leaders' contacts, and mapping tools. The 'Projects' area has information on all the things going on in Overtown right now, including the expansion of the old Lyric Theater by the Black Archives. posted by liz at 10:24 AM
