We Had Sneakers, They Had Guns: The Kids Who Fought for Civil Rights in Mississippi
Marvin Dunn's book is a great overview of the trends of black migration and settlement of Miami. It is thorough in terms of identifying the major movements of black history specific to Dade County. As is disclaimed in the introduction, this is not a comprehensive history, but rather a detailed summary that provides context for the black experience in South Florida. It is a neat telling of the communities that the varying blacks created for themselves as answer to racial undercurrents, as well as internal tensions. Dunn does an excellent job spotlighting several individuals throughout who impacted the black community for the better. The biographical information he gives provides a greater context for how their environment shaped them. In the epilogue Dunn follows this theme to implore contemporary black people to learn from their history and be the great leaders of the next century.
