Miami's Oldest Neighborhood Celebrates "Little Bahamas" Designation

Miami's oldest Coconut Grove neighborhood celebrates it's official "Little Bahamas" designation. Dr. Enid Pinkney -founder of the Historic Hampton House-says this acknowledges all the contributions Bahamians like her father made when they came to Miami to clear land in 1910. The renaming comes amid widespread gentrification, threatening to displace longtime residents who are the descendants of Bahamian settlers. A federally funded Bahamian Museum of Art and Culture is also being built in the community.
