Only beef was between Haitians and AA/Bahamians and I only witnessed that when I had to go to Edison Middle which is pretty much in Lil Haiti. It was AA/Bahamians (Yanks) vs Haitians everyday all day in that area.

Haitians and other immigrants are not completely innocent in all of this. Some of them come here guns a blazing already looking down on blacks from what they've seen on tv(which is extremely ironic) For living in impoverished area(also extremely ironic) Acting like they own the place when they wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for the work that's been put in. The majority conveniently came post civil rights. You don't think American blacks don't feel some type of way on our end because of that
As far as doing better with education,jobs etc- The Caribbean/Haitian population is so small in comparison to ours, that its not even worth comparing.
Blacks who helm from predominately black countries, who run from them, and come here bragging about how much better their doing than blacks in a predominately cac country. Is some batman with prep time level c00ning

South Florida's First Black Neighborhood Is Struggling (PHOTOS)

MIAMI (AP) -- When the first black residents of South Florida arrived in the 1880s from the Bahamas to work at the Peacock Inn on Biscayne Bay, they established the Village West neighborhood in Miami's Coconut Grove section.
The neighborhood thrived in the early 1900s with many black-owned businesses and single-family homes. But after World War II ended, many of the homes were torn down and replaced with large apartment buildings. Today, many of those apartment buildings are in disrepair and the residents are struggling. There are many vacant lots, boarded up homes, empty storefronts along the main thoroughfare of Grand Avenue and numerous properties for sale, slated for development.

Biscayne National Park
Add to ScrapbookLancelot Jones, Biscayne National Park
Biscayne National Park, off the southeastern tip of Florida, protects a diverse variety of ecosystems and is a sanctuary for several endangered species. Evidence of human activity within the boundaries of the park goes back 10,000 years to the migration of the Paleo-Indians down the south coast of Florida. Later, the Tequesta tribe lived off the bounty of the sea, until Spanish explorers – and the diseases they brought with them – wiped out the native population by the mid-1700s.
By the 1960s, no one knew Biscayne Bay better than Lancelot Jones, who had been born in the bottom of small boat in 1898 while his father frantically sailed his pregnant wife toward a hospital in Miami. From that time on, the bay had been his home.

Jones' father, Israel Lafayette Jones, had risen up from slavery in North Carolina, migrated to Florida after the Civil War, and eventually managed to buy three of the small, uninhabited islands that separate Biscayne Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. He began a profitable business growing key limes.
In 1935, three years after his father's death, a hurricane destroyed the family's lime crops and forced Lancelot into a new line of work as a fishing guide for wealthy visitors to Biscayne Bay.
Just across a small channel from Jones' modest home on Porgy Key was the Cocolobo Club, an exclusive retreat frequented by influential millionaires. The likeable Lancelot Jones became the favorite fishing guide of many well-connected people.
But developers had long been eyeing the bay and its chain of pristine islands. In 1961, a shipping tyc00n announced plans to construct a deep-water port, an oil refinery and an industrial complex. Another group of developers proposed a bridge linking the mainland to the islands, where they intended to build high-rise hotels, shopping centers, and beachfront homes.
The developers convinced authorities to create the city of "Islandia" and ferried a voting machine to Elliott Key, where they staged an election attended by 14 of the 18 registered voters – all of them absentee landowners hoping to cash in on the anticipated real estate boom. Lancelot Jones, one of only two full-time residents of the new city, did not vote; he was against the development plans and wanted the land to stay as it was. He had also turned down offers from the refinery developer to buy Porgy Key.

Meanwhile, a small group had formed to fight both the refinery and bridge proposals. Avid fisherman Lloyd Miller, Miami Herald writer Juanita Greene, and ecologist Art Marshall decided that the only way to stop the development of the islands was to make the area a national park.
Local pioneer, family called island home

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — As the largest marine park in the National Park Service system, Biscayne National Park is prominently known for protecting a portion of the world’s third-largest coral reef.
Many tourists, however, don’t know that the park was actually home to the one of greatest African-American pioneers and entrepreneurs in Miami-Dade County history.
Israel Lafayette Jones was born a slave in 1858 in Raleigh, N.C. After gaining his freedom in 1892, he moved to South Florida in search of work. Before settling in Key Biscayne, he lived in Coconut Grove, where he married Mozelle Albury and had two sons whom he named regally King Arthur and Sir Lancelot. Both sons are believed to be the first black Americans born on Key Biscayne.
Greene persuaded her newspaper, which supported the refinery, to cover the opposition movement. As the public leader of the opposition, Lloyd Miller found himself under attack – his car was vandalized, his family was threatened, and his dog was poisoned.
But slowly, their movement gained strength. After visiting the bay, Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall came out in favor of protecting it, and in October 1968, President Johnson created Biscayne National Monument, saving 173,000 acres of the bay, coral reefs and islands.
Add to ScrapbookLancelot Jones, 1974
Lancelot Jones was the first private landowner to sell his land to the federal government for the new national monument, on the condition that he would be allowed to live out his life in the family home on Porgy Key.
When Congress transformed the monument into Biscayne National Park in 1980, Jones was still there. His favorite pastime was teaching about the bay's fish and sponges whenever the Park Service brought groups of school children to Porgy Key. The only compensation he asked for was a key lime pie.
