Show moreHaitians have been leaving their country in significant numbers for many years. These emigrants have not always constituted the same socio-economic classes. The same diversity found in Haiti would often be found in the receiving countries. The area called Little Haiti might be more homogeneous than Haitian enclaves in Montreal or New York, but, here too, there is diversity. The beginnings of this area were vastly different in composition, race, and ethnicity, and the early settlers would most certainly wonder at the changes which have occurred. Although struggling to overcome many obstacles, Little Haiti is on its way to becoming a viable community. The support systems necessary for continuity are all there: schools, shopping, churches, doctors, lawyers, social services, etc. Whether it will maintain its cultural identity or eventually assimilate with the larger black community remains to be seen. In the meanwhile the Haitians are struggling to surmount obstacles of unemployment, illiteracy, regulation of status, prejudice, and poverty.

- The Jews of greater Miami: An historical perspective.

- Abstract/Description

The principal purpose of this thesis is to provide an historical perspective on the Jewish presence in Greater Miami from its beginnings in 1896 to the present. In the early years, Jews were forced to endure widespread anti-Semitism. However, by the 1950's Jewish tenacity largely defeated the exponents of bigotry. Jewish entrepreneurship produced an environment that resulted in world-wide recognition of Miami Beach and its environs as the ultimate winter resort area. During this process,...
Show moreThe principal purpose of this thesis is to provide an historical perspective on the Jewish presence in Greater Miami from its beginnings in 1896 to the present. In the early years, Jews were forced to endure widespread anti-Semitism. However, by the 1950's Jewish tenacity largely defeated the exponents of bigotry. Jewish entrepreneurship produced an environment that resulted in world-wide recognition of Miami Beach and its environs as the ultimate winter resort area. During this process, Miami's Jews built a strong sense of community that revolved around a variety of religious and cultural institutions. By 1975, the Miami area's Jewish population reached 289,210. Since then, an aging population, indifferent leadership, Black militancy, a vast crime increase, and a Hispanic population explosion contributed to a Jewish exodus that brought about a precipitous decline of Jewish population to 202,000. In nine decades, the Jewish presence has gone from spectacular growth to alarming decline.

- The international, national, state, and local influences on the establishment of exceptional student education in Dade County Public Schools.
- Creator
- West, Shirley Merlin., Florida Atlantic University, Weppner, Daniel B.
- Abstract/Description
-
In Dade County Public Schools a program for exceptional students actually began in 1940 with four classes for the physically handicapped. Through legislation, policy issues, research, organizations, and parent groups, many people worked toward that goal long before 1940. Assistance for the handicapped in Europe can be traced back to the late 1700s; such support lent impetus for our culture to also assist the deviant.

Show moreIn Dade County Public Schools a program for exceptional students actually began in 1940 with four classes for the physically handicapped. Through legislation, policy issues, research, organizations, and parent groups, many people worked toward that goal long before 1940. Assistance for the handicapped in Europe can be traced back to the late 1700s; such support lent impetus for our culture to also assist the deviant. The first efforts toward providing an education for the handicapped were directed toward students with visible conditions, primarily the physically impaired, the deaf, and the blind. Then the movement to help the mentally retarded was initiated. Special education progressed through: segregation in institutions; limited integration with special classes housed in regular school facilities; and integration, or mainstreaming, in classes with regular students. Legislation at the federal and state levels assisted the ESE movement, as had policy changes at the local level. The mandate of P.L. 94-142, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, signed into law in 1975, brought about dramatic changes in ESE. The purpose of this historial analysis was to depict the influences that resulted in the establishment of special education in Dade County Public Schools and the improvement of ESE programs in what is now the fourth largest school district in the United States.

- Abstract/Description

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the social and institutional forces that created the second ghetto in Miami during the three decades following World War II. During this period, Miami's inner-city ghetto was razed and a new ghetto, sanctioned by federal and local legislation and agencies, was established in the northwest section of Dade County. The northwest section, which contained a few black enclaves in 1945, was transformed into a sprawling black ghetto by 1960. The transition of...

During this period, Miami's inner-city ghetto was razed and a new ghetto, sanctioned by federal and local legislation and agencies, was established in the northwest section of Dade County. The northwest section, which contained a few black enclaves in 1945, was transformed into a sprawling black ghetto by 1960. The transition of the area from predominantly white to black produced racial conflicts that erupted into violence as the white majority tried to uphold segregation in Miami. In 1980, 85 percent of Dade County's African American population resided in the northwest section. This did not happen by accident; Miami's second ghetto was shaped, maintained, and reinforced through government policy, the real estate industry, and racial prejudice.
