SUMMARY:Flooding in Florida: The Bellwether of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:The goals of historic preservation are often at odds with efforts to protect properties from climate change. While preservation encourages maintaining a property’s historic appearance\, climate change adaptation often requires change\, sometimes radical change\, to maintain the safety of a building and its occupants. \nAs the impacts of flooding and intense storms are increasing in prevalence\, property owners and communities are trying to balance their desire to increase resiliency in their communities\, while maintaining their historic character and sense of place. Property owners seek options to improve resilience in response to parcel vulnerability. At a community level\, municipalities are developing policies\, programs\, and requirements to address vulnerability on a larger scale\, often without considering the impacts on historic resources. \nTo specifically address the impacts of severe storms on the state’s historic resources\, Florida’s Division of Historical Resources\, the SHPO\, sought to prepare three guidance documents to address the impacts of severe storms. Going beyond a regulatory review\, the guidance relied heavily on information gained through site visits in in-person interviews with eighteen small to mid-sized communities across the state. The site visits provided a first-hand opportunity to document prior storm damage\, recovery efforts\, and vulnerability as well as the implementation of community-wide and property specific resiliency measures. The information gained during the site visits was compiled to serve as a reference for similar communities. The resulting guidance documents provide a holistic approach for three separate audiences: property owners\, municipalities\, and state agencies. They described flood and wind mitigation vulnerability and resiliency measures for historic buildings and archaeological sites\, and include an analysis of severe storms on tourism\, a key state industry. \nThe presentation will review the challenges of addressing flood and wind vulnerability across a wide geographic area. It will include a breakdown of the roles\, responsibilities\, and regulatory requirements of the owner\, federal\, state\, and local governments when addressing the mitigation of historic properties. \n  \nAbout the Speakers \nDominique M. Hawkins\, the founding principal of Preservation Design Partnership [PDP]\, was one of two individuals to complete dual Master’s Degrees in Architecture and Historic Preservation at the University of Pennsylvania. After completing her degrees in 1992\, she apprenticed with two of the most respected preservation firms in the Mid-Atlantic Region and served as a Preservation Specialist with the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office. In 1995\, Dominique established Preservation Design Partnership [PDP] as a planning and design practice focusing exclusively on offering high-quality professional services for clients with nationally – significant historic sites and buildings. \nDominique’s nationally recognized and pioneering work in the understanding of the regulatory review process has been the foundation for preparing Design Guidelines for historic communities and districts throughout the country. Some examples are the 19 Historic Districts of New Orleans\, including the Vieux Carre [a.k.a. the French Quarter]\, a National Historic Landmark; Newton\, Massachusetts\, containing over thirty National Historic Districts; Oak Park\, Illinois\, listed on the National Register of Historic Places\, and Ft. Lauderdale\, Florida\, to name a few. Through this work\, Dominique has developed unique collaborative and public education skills in working with client groups\, stakeholders\, community leaders\, and the public in shaping projects\, achieving consensus\, and reaching conclusions in an effective manner. \nShe has authored the Flood Mitigation Guide: Maryland’s Historic Properties; Flood Mitigation Guide for Historic Properties and Elevation Design Guidelines for Historic Properties for the NJ Historic Preservation Office and the Historic Preservation Master Plan and Flood Mitigation Guidance for the City of St. Augustine\, Florida. She recently completed the Storm Guidance resource for Florida’s Division of Historical Resources which developed flood and storm mitigation guidance for property owners\, local governments\, and state entities. She is currently working with the community in Charleston to identify equitable resilience strategies. Her work has been recognized with several preservation and design awards. \nJennifer M. Wolfe\, AICP is a Preservation Planning Specialist with Preservation Design Partnership\, a heritage planning and architectural firm based in Philadelphia. Her previous work as the Historic Preservation Officer in St. Augustine included confronting the impacts of hurricanes and nuisance flooding with vulnerability studies and adaptation analysis. With PDP\, she worked on a statewide storm guidance document for all audiences and continues to engage other communities in similar challenges. Jennifer is Past President of the Board for the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation and a graduate of the University of Florida’s architectural preservation program.

SUMMARY:Jesse Jones Jr. Jazz Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:Jazz is alive in South Florida and Jesse Jones Jr. is here to prove it! The Miami native is a saxophonist extraordinaire and continues to be on the forefront of a burgeoning jazz renaissance in South Florida. Jones and his brother\, Melton Mustafa\, who is one of the great trumpet players of our time\, have been a running force in music for many years. \nAs a child\, Jones would listen to a neighbor practice his saxophone while playing along with Cannonball Adderly albums. “I loved that sound and knew right then I was going to be a musician for the rest of my life.” Jones went on to attend Mississippi Valley State University where he excelled in music. After college\, he joined the military and became a member of the US Navy Show Band. Jones traveled throughout North and South America\, and had the opportunity to develop his showmanship skills. Besides playing the sax\, clarinet and flute on tour\, Jones sang\, tap-danced and performed comedy skits. After serving his four year military term\, Jones moved to Boston before returning home to Miami\, where he signed with Fantasy Records in 1996. \nSunday\, January 14th\, 2024 \n3:30 pm – 5:30 pm \nJazz Age Stage at Lummus Park and 12th Street

SUMMARY:What in the World?! How Walt Created Disney World
DESCRIPTION:When Walt Disney realized cheap tourist traps were enveloping Disneyland\, he began a nationwide search for enough land to hold every dream he could imagine. What happened next would require a heightened degree of CIA-level secrecy for Disney’s undercover team\, which launched a misinformation campaign that included dummy corporations and secret transactions. However\, when a keen-eyed reporter cracked the code\, Disney was forced to show his hand. Audiences will be amazed to learn of subterfuge\, monumental innovations and engineering feats required to create a whole new world. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nGary McKechnie is a member of the Florida Humanities Speakers Bureau\, with presentations including this talk as well as ‘Sunshine State Soundtrack’ (a round-up of famous Florida-born musicians). McKechnie is a former stand-up comedian improv actor\, and author of the nation’s best-selling motorcycle guidebook\, Great American Motorcycle Tours\, and a two-time National Geographic author (USA 101 and Ten Best of Everything: National Parks). \nMcKechnie has written for Walt Disney World\, Fodor’s travel guides\, Rand McNally\, AOL\, People\, National Geographic Traveler\, the Washington Post\, Harley-Davidson\, Orlando magazine\, Florida magazine\, Chicago Tribune\, Atlanta Constitution\, Orlando Sentinel\, Miami Herald\, and United Airlines’ Hemispheres. \nAdditionally\, he is a two-time winner of the Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award\, a member of the Society of America Travel Writers\, and covered back road destinations throughout the state as Visit Florida’s ‘Off the Beaten Path’ Insider. In 2014 he was selected by the Motorcycle Industry Council to appear as on-camera talent and chronicle the Cannon Ball Centennial Ride\, a 3\,450-mile cross-country motorcycle expedition. \nTogether with his wife\, Nancy Howell\, he owned and operated Mount Dora’s Coconut Cottage Inn from 2000-2018 and also teamed up to write ‘A Brief History of Mount Dora’ for the History Press.

SUMMARY:Miami's Desi Arnaz: Achieving the American Dream
DESCRIPTION:In 1933\, Batista’s Cuban Revolution forced Desi Arnaz and his dad to flee to Miami\, where the penniless 16-year-old arrived without the ability to speak\, read\, or understand English. He cleaned canary cages\, laid tile\, and struggled to save money by sleeping in a warehouse. \nAt St. Patrick Catholic School\, Desi learned English\, practiced guitar\, and picked up the conga drum and after graduation played gigs at the Roney Plaza Hotel. In 1937 he was booked to open the 200-seat Park Avenue nightclub where it was quickly apparent Desi’s pick-up musicians couldn’t play the Latin rhythms Arnaz had promised. Afraid of being fired on his first night\, Arnaz recalled a hypnotic rhythm played at Cuban parties and quickly taught the musicians to play a cadence of ‘One-two-three-KICK!’ Beating his conga drum in time\, Desi shouted to the audience to follow him out of the Park Avenue and around Collins Park. The mania that followed what he called his ‘Dance of Desperation’ launched Arnaz into stardom and started ‘The Conga Craze’ in America. \nWhat followed were roles on Broadway\, motion pictures\, the formation of his own orchestra\, the production and ownership of ‘I Love Lucy’\, the creation of modern television\, and his purchase of RKO Studios. And it all started right here in Miami Beach. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nGary McKechnie is a member of the Florida Humanities Speakers Bureau\, with presentations including this talk as well as ‘Sunshine State Soundtrack’ (a round-up of famous Florida-born musicians). McKechnie is a former stand-up comedian improv actor\, and author of the nation’s best-selling motorcycle guidebook\, Great American Motorcycle Tours\, and a two-time National Geographic author (USA 101 and Ten Best of Everything: National Parks). \nMcKechnie has written for Walt Disney World\, Fodor’s travel guides\, Rand McNally\, AOL\, People\, National Geographic Traveler\, the Washington Post\, Harley-Davidson\, Orlando magazine\, Florida magazine\, Chicago Tribune\, Atlanta Constitution\, Orlando Sentinel\, Miami Herald\, and United Airlines’ Hemispheres. \nAdditionally\, he is a two-time winner of the Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award\, a member of the Society of America Travel Writers\, and covered back road destinations throughout the state as Visit Florida’s ‘Off the Beaten Path’ Insider.

SUMMARY:Florida’s First Travelogue: A Spanish Shipwreck Survivor’s Memoir of Enslavement with the Calusa Tribe for 17 Years
DESCRIPTION:Hernando D’Escalante Fontaneda was 13 years old when he survived a shipwreck in Florida in 1549. He and his brother were sailing from their home in Cartagena to be educated in Salamanca\, Spain. In his memoir\, Fontaneda wrote that the Calusas enslaved him rather than martyring him\, like other shipwreck survivors\, because he obeyed their commands to sing and dance. Seventeen years later\, St. Augustine was founded and Fontaneda united with Governor Menendez to become his interpreter with Florida’s tribes for five years\, as he claimed to have learned most tribes’ languages during his captivity. Many names of places in modern Florida were first written in his memoir\, like “Mayaimi”\, “Ocale”\, “Apalache”\, “Tanpe”\, and more. His memoir describes the plants\, animals\, foods\, customs\, geography\, and other details of pre-Spanish Florida\, interwoven with personal stories and observations\, mainly to help Spain settle and colonize the new territory. Fontaneda’s observations about pre-Spanish Florida will be discussed in the lecture\, as well as the “New World” he lived in. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nStuart Reed is an attorney and mediator living in Miami Beach\, Florida. Reed opened his first solo office in 1997 in Miami Beach’s Historic City Hall. Soon after\, he became a member and chair of the Sierra Club’s Miami Group and the City of Miami Beach’s Marine Authority. Reed is currently a member of the City of Miami Beach’s Historic Preservation Board and was recently a member of the Miami Design Preservation League’s Board of Directors. \nBefore he attended law school at Florida State University from 1989-1992\, he worked for Miami Dade County’s Department of Environmental Resources Management as a pollution control inspector. He graduated from the University of Virginia in 1988 with major studies in Environmental Sciences. In 2003\, he kayaked around the full circumference of Biscayne Bay with two friends\, which took 8 days. At that time\, he kayaked often and frequently wondered what life was like for the Tequesta tribe before the Spanish arrived\, with so much seafood and fresh water around Biscayne Bay. \nIn 2006\, he attended a lecture at the Wolfsonian Museum about the Tequesta tribe by Bob Carr\, the state’s chief archaeologist who was supervising the Miami Circle’s excavation. He said that almost everything we know about Florida before Spanish settlement came from Fontaneda’s memoirs. Since then\, learning about Fontaneda and the world he lived has been a passion for Reed. Says Reed: “His story is like a long-lost Spanish treasure that deserves to be shared with a wider audience.”

SUMMARY:The Miami Creation Myth: How We Tell South Florida's Stories
DESCRIPTION:Every great civilization\, from the Ancient Greeks to the Egyptians\, Sumerians\, and Norse had their gods\, villains\, and heroes. These millennia-old stories of love\, violence\, honor\, and betrayal passed people’s beliefs about themselves to subsequent generations. They were altered through incalculable tellings to better fit changing norms and political ends\, but the core messages remained. \nAndrew Otazo fervently believes that Miami\, being a globally unique amalgamation of so many cultures\, deserves its own legendary cycle. In his talk\, he will read two chapters from The Miami Creation Myth\, a book he authored that immerses its readers in a universe with its own\, often absurd\, deities\, rules\, and norms—much like the city on which it is based. These modern myths use humor to delve into the wonderful richness\, as well as endemic privilege and cultural misunderstandings\, prevalent in one of America’s most diverse cities. \nSpecifically\, the chapters will cover this Miami-based universe’s creation and how its different communities were founded and interacted with each other. Before each chapter\, Otazo will provide context on the history of Miami that served as the inspiration for the dramatizations found in the book. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nA native Miamian\, Andrew Otazo is a Cuban-American author who wrote a book titled The Miami Creation Myth. Andrew currently runs his own communications firm named ARO Communications which specializes in public relations strategy\, environmental\, social\, governance\, executive positioning\, and earned media. He previously worked at several international public relations agencies. \nAndrew served as the executive director of the Cuba Study Group\, where he advocated to policymakers on Capitol Hill. He published 17 academic publications that sold over 10\,000 copies to the world’s top universities\, graduate courses\, and corporations while a research associate at the Harvard Business School. Andrew also worked as a researcher at the Harvard Kennedy School and he helped implement U.S. foreign policy at the State Department. As Mexican President Felipe Calderón’s personal assistant\, he facilitated the decision-making process of one of the world’s highest-level policymakers. Andrew is a native Spanish speaker and proficient in Portuguese. \nAndrew removed 23\,000 pounds of trash from South Florida’s mangrove forests and ocean. He carried a 35-pound bag of mangrove trash (currently in History Miami’s permanent collection) the length of the 2019 Miami Marathon and led a team that hauled a 130-pound trash cart throughout the 2020 Miami Marathon. These efforts raised over $30\,500 to protect Miami’s coastal habitats. \nAndrew was named to Brickell Magazine’s Top 20 Under 40 List\, The New Tropic’s Locals to Know\, Local 10’s Most Treasured Citizen\, Miami’s Next Leader\, FAES Latino Leader in Politics\, and received two Proclamation from the Village of Key Biscayne. \nAndrew has lectured at the Harvard Law School\, Columbia Business School\, University of Miami\, Cornell\, Clemson\, Miami Dade College\, and local South Florida middle and high schools.

SUMMARY:Radio Waves: Miami Beach and the Golden Age of Radio
DESCRIPTION:Today Miami Beach is one of the most “broadcasted” locations in the world\, but 100 years ago the age of broadcasting was just becoming a reality. \nThis exhibition explores the first consumer mass media device and how it helped promote and shape Miami Beach’s early development. As radio proliferated through the first half of the twentieth century\, Miami Beach also transformed from an untamed barrier island into a famous tourism and cultural destination. \nRadio quickly became the “rage” in the mid-1920s as more and more Americans realized that owning a radio meant news\, entertainment\, weather\, and politics could be transmitted wirelessly to them from the comfort of their homes. The radio brought families together to listen to broadcasts in their living rooms\, connecting people to faraway places and signaling the start of the machine age. \nMiami Beach’s pioneers recognized that promotion was vital to its success. They broke the mold by adding radio stations to their hotels\, broadcasting a message from this city carved from a jungle. \nRadio styles were dynamic\, often reflecting American culture and industrial design. Movies\, architecture\, automobiles\, and the 1939 World’s Fair were a few such examples. The materials from which radio chassis were made such as wood\, resins\, plastics\, metals\, and mirrored glass\, provided an endless array of aesthetically pleasing choices – many of which are highlighted in this exhibit. \nRadio Waves explores the Golden Age of Radio beginning in the 1920s to the late 1950s\, as manifested by the distinctive architecture of Miami Beach. Art Deco\, Streamline\, and Mid-Century Modern hotels and apartments houses designed by some of America’s foremost architects continue to welcome guests to the sun\, sand\, and sea of the City of Miami Beach. \nMiami-Dade Residents: Free Admission; General Ticket: $7 \nAt the Art Deco Museum  \n1001 Ocean Drive \nOpen Daily 9 am – 5 pm  \nhappening now\, through February 15\, 2024
