Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) have announced the return of the highly anticipated Black History Month Educational Bus Tour.
The tour celebrates the rich history and enduring contributions of Black communities in Miami-Dade County. This year’s remaining tour is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 22.
“Miami-Dade’s diversity is its greatest strength, and our Black History Month tours are an opportunity to celebrate the profound contributions of our Black American communities,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “These tours provide an enriching experience, offering a deeper understanding of the stories and achievements that have shaped our community. I have been blessed to join these tours during the last two years since we’ve brought them back and look forward to this year’s edition.”
The free, two-and-a-half-hour narrated tour will highlight historically significant neighborhoods, including Coconut Grove, Overtown, Liberty City, and Little Haiti. While participants will enjoy the comfort of a bus ride, select stops will allow for a closer exploration of key landmarks, offering attendees a chance to connect with Miami-Dade’s vibrant history on a more personal level.
“Public transportation is more than a means of getting from one place to another — it’s a bridge to the past and a connection to our shared history,” said Josiel Ferrer-Diaz, interim director and CEO of DTPW. “We are proud to provide these tours as a platform for meaningful engagement with the stories that define our county.”
The tour will depart promptly at 10 a.m. from the Stephen P. Clark Center, located at 111 NW First St., Miami, FL. Space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
