Yanela McLeod‘s The Miami Times and the Fight for Equality: Race, Sport, and the Black Press, 1948-1958 highlights the 1949 lawsuit challenging segregation on the city’s public golf course brought by The Miami Times, the number one Black-owned newspaper in the country. It is but one example of the paper’s commitment to desegregation, and part of the historical narrative of the civil rights movement in Florida. She’s joined by longtime Miami-Dade journalist Nadege Green, now director of community research and storytelling at the Community Justice Project.
