From Red Lines to Repair: A Miami History and Equity Tour
Feb 10, 2026
From: 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM
A guided bus tour and facilitated learning experience examines how redlining, segregation and policy decisions shaped Miami’s historic Black neighborhoods and continue to influence equity today.
From Red Lines to Repair: A Miami History and Equity Tour takes place Tuesday, February 10, beginning at Dunn’s Overtown Farm & Market. Presented during Black History Month by South Florida People of Color, Barry University and Bread for the World Institute, the program brings together residents, students and community members for an in-depth exploration of Miami’s racial and economic history.
Participants travel by chartered bus through Liberty City, Brownsville and Overtown, with narration that connects federal housing policy, local zoning decisions and infrastructure projects such as I-95 to long-term patterns of displacement and wealth inequality. The itinerary includes guided visits to key historic and cultural sites, including the Black Police Precinct and Courthouse Museum, Greater Bethel AME Church, the Historic Hampton House, Lincoln Memorial Park Cemetery and Overtown landmarks such as the Lyric Theater and Longshoremen Mural.
The experience also includes a shared meal and a facilitated racial wealth gap and redlining simulation led by the Bread for the World Institute, followed by structured dialogue and reflection focused on repair, civic responsibility and shared prosperity in Miami. The tour emphasizes education, discussion and cross-community connection through a combination of place-based learning and guided conversation.
