HistoryMiami Museum is collecting and sharing stories, images, and objects that capture the experiences of South Florida communities during this historic time.
This collecting effort aims to document life in Miami through submissions of first-person accounts, photographs, and items that highlight personal and community experiences of the Black Lives Matter movement, the Covid-19 pandemic, and local and national elections.
