The public is invited to attend an‘emergency’
meeting of the Caribbean Affairs Advisory Committee, in the City Hall of Miami
Gardens, Florida, today, Wednesday August 29, 2012, at 5:45 PM, to express
community support for the proposal that the city of Miami Gardens recognize Mr.
and Mrs. Marcus Mosiah Garvey by naming a street in their honour.
Your support is needed; to convince the Caribbean
Affairs Advisory Committee (which is empowered by the Miami Gardens Mayor and
City Council to make recommendations regarding matters in the interest of the
Caribbean-American residents of Miami Gardens) that such an honour is
appropriate, timely, and would be appreciated.
The City of Miami Gardens is the largest
Black-majority city in the state of Florida, and the third-largest city in
Miami-Dade County, with an estimated 80% Black population. Caribbean-Americans
comprise an estimated 40%-45% of Miami Gardens residents, and own many of the
businesses.
Please join us in Miami Gardens tomorrow, and ask
your friends to join us, and support the call to honour these great
Jamaican-Caribbean-Americans, Amy and Marcus Garvey.
CITY HALL ADDRESS:
1515 NW 167 Street, Miami Gardens
(the entrance is on the
west-bound service road that runs beside the 826 expressway)
Thank you.
