Title: Miami's second ghetto.
Creator: Van Dyke, Teresa B., Florida Atlantic University, Mohl, Raymond A.
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...
Show moreThe 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 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.

Show moreThis thesis examines the circumstances leading to the 1968 ghetto riot in the Liberty City community of Miami, Florida. After placing the Liberty City uprising in national and local contexts, the thesis chronicles race relations and African American living conditions in Miami from the late nineteenth century through the 1960s. The thesis focuses upon major grievances of Miami's black community in the 1960s. These included deplorable housing conditions, economic exploitation, bleak employment prospects, racial discrimination, poor police-community relations, and economic competition with Cuban refugees who settled in the Miami area during the 1960s. The thesis argues that the riot in Liberty City constituted a form of African American protest against these factors. In brief, Miami's 1968 ghetto revolt marked an attempt by local black residents to improve their life chances and living standards by demanding empowerment within their own communities and control over the processes that affected their lives.

Title: Soil of misfortune: Education, poverty, and race in a rural south Florida community.
Creator: Gonzalez, Juan Carlos., Florida Atlantic University, Kirsch, Max H.
Abstract/Description: This dissertation addresses the structural components of education in the United States and how they have hindered the ability of a community's black and brown children to obtain the knowledge and resources needed to succeed and adapt to the changing circumstances of their region and beyond. It will do so through a case study of a small community in the American South, where the failure of education to provide access to the American dream has been clearly demonstrated in persistent poverty...
Show moreThis dissertation addresses the structural components of education in the United States and how they have hindered the ability of a community's black and brown children to obtain the knowledge and resources needed to succeed and adapt to the changing circumstances of their region and beyond. It will do so through a case study of a small community in the American South, where the failure of education to provide access to the American dream has been clearly demonstrated in persistent poverty and lack of opportunity available to its residents. Belle Glade, Florida is a rural community centrally located within the Everglades Agricultural Area. Fifty years after the historic 1954 Brown vs. Board decision, which outlawed school segregation and the separate but equal claims of Plessy vs. Ferguson, little has changed in this poor rural community. This study shows that this community, rather than representing an isolated case, is reflective of many small non-metro communities of the American South. Though integration initially intended to balance the great disparity that existed between the schools for black children and schools for white children in regards to facilities, materials, and curriculum, in Belle Glade and throughout the South those same disparities still exist today. This study argues that current state education policies, modeled after the federal government's "No Child Left Behind Plan," are a veneer for a separate and unequal educational policy and practice in the state of Florida. It seeks to explore and document why this has occurred, and place this case study within the larger context of structural inequalities on the local, national and global levels. How is it that the "freest nation in the world" with the largest gross national product has yet to fulfill its most fundamental promise to this community---equal opportunity and access to quality education? Thus, this dissertation asks why regardless of the policies, plans, curricula and tests the district and state adopt, at times with the best of intentions, nothing seems to improve the conditions of these black citizens? More importantly, when these issues are addressed, who speaks, under what conditions and for whom?

Title: The black struggle for political and Civil Rights in Broward County, 1943-1989.
Creator: Kelleher, Richard V., Florida Atlantic University, Mohl, Raymond A.
Abstract/Description: During the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, Broward County blacks established their place in the ranks of freedom fighters. The Supreme Court decision of 1944 in the case of Smith v. Allright opened the door for the black community to become involved in the political process. Jim Crow laws were eliminated throughout the south. Other covert barriers are now being overcome. At-large elections that prevent black representation are being overturned.

Show moreDuring the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, Broward County blacks established their place in the ranks of freedom fighters. The Supreme Court decision of 1944 in the case of Smith v. Allright opened the door for the black community to become involved in the political process. Jim Crow laws were eliminated throughout the south. Other covert barriers are now being overcome. At-large elections that prevent black representation are being overturned. Annexation of black neighborhoods has still not been accomplished to any great extent. As a result, thousands of Broward's black residents have no voice in municipal government. Qualified black residents are not registering to vote in numbers that reflect their population. Despite fair housing legislation, discrimination in housing is rampant. Police departments have yet to meet agreed quotas of black officers under federal consent decrees. Overt racism is not an acceptable attitude today, but covert racism is alive and well.
