Miami River Stories
The Miami River connects communities across Miami and is linked in complex ways to the city’s history. A small part of the Miami River’s history has been documented in books and videos, but much of that history still remains in the memories of the people who’ve lived and worked along its banks. A collaborative effort between researchers from Florida International University (FIU) and community partners hopes to connect with people across Miami to: explore diverse histories; understand residents’ environmental concerns; and document community-based knowledge about the Miami River
