Celebrate the Legendary Locals of Greater Miami

Local authors pen new book honoring notable residents of the area
 
MT. PLEASANT, S.C. - Oct. 16, 2013 - PRLog -- The newest addition to Arcadia Publishing’s popular Legendary Locals series is Legendary Locals of Greater Miami from local authors Howard Kleinberg and Arva Moore Parks. The book is set to release on October 28, 2013 and boasts more than 200 vintage images of the people that make Miami legendary.

Guided by a visionary widow named Julia Tuttle, the city of Miami truly came into being in 1896 and has not stopped growing. Halfway through the last century, the apparent domination of land, population and business by whites and—for decades—repressed African Americans became tested and balanced by the victims of the 1959 Cuban Revolution. Beyond that, hundreds of thousands of others from Spanish-speaking lands came to create what truly is an international metropolis.

The chapters of Miami’s existence are delineated by those legendary locals who came earliest; those who were the pioneers; those who established businesses that endured; those who were the builders and visionaries; those who served in politics; those who came from other places; those who created, built, and extended educational and arts opportunities; and those who embraced the placid environment and natural beauty of the “Magic City.”

Highlights of Legendary Locals of Greater Miami:

•Showcases the rich heritage of active citizens that have contributed their time and efforts on local, state and even national causes to make this region viable.
•Includes business leaders, cultural leaders, medical leaders, military leaders, political leaders, sports leaders and community founders and leaders.
