In this episode of Under the Miami Sun: Stories of Race, Risk, and Resilience, we explore Little Haiti, a cultural cornerstone of Miami, shaped by political turmoil, migration, advocacy, and its rich heritage. From its beginnings as Lemon City to its transformation into a haven for Haitian identity, Little Haiti has stood as a testament to the resilience of its people. But today, rising property values, climate gentrification, and systemic inequities threaten to displace residents and disrupt its cultural foundation.
Through interviews with residents, small business owners, and community leaders, we explore the challenges facing Little Haiti while celebrating its enduring traditions. Along the way, we experience the sights, sounds, and soul of this remarkable neighborhood, visiting local landmarks, uncovering its rich history, and showcasing the ongoing fight to preserve its identity in the face of change.
