About This Project

The story of Miami belongs to all of us, a shared history built by generations who came to South Florida from destinations near and far, for reasons as diverse as the people who live here. Who are we? Find out more in "Make Miami History Now".... a joint project of HistoryMiami and The Miami Herald to bring people together through history. You'll find a new question here each week, and get the answer a week later.
