TO: Mayor Dan Gelber and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Raul J. Aguila, Interim City Manager
DATE: April 9, 2021
SUBJECT: #MBHistory Youth Commission Series
I am pleased to update you on the status of the Miami Beach Youth Commission’s #MBHistory
series to inform youth residents on the contributions of Black, Jewish, Hispanic, and LGBTQ+
community members. The link to the event on the city’s website is
https://www.miamibeachfl.gov/events/mbhistory/.
The Youth Commission #MBHistory series provides for five, 30-minute livestreamed
segments focusing on the role of Black, Jewish, Hispanic, and LGBTQ Miami Beach
community members who contributed to making Miami Beach a global tourist destination and
model of tolerance despite years of what some have described as intolerance. The program,
#MBHistory, will form the basis of a new curriculum on Miami Beach history that will be offered
free of charge to public and private schools throughout the city.
The first two segments are available on the City’s YouTube channel as follows:
• Miami Beach Jewish community: https://youtu.be/ahFAgyt2TmY
• Miami Beach Black community: https://youtu.be/nqGkuRXKEHY
The third segment will present a historic retrospective of the Miami Beach Hispanic community
and will be hosted by Miami Beach Youth Commissioners, along with a community guest.
