Histórico
Miami Partners for Progress was a group that was created at the end of the Boycott Miami Campaign when an agreement was signed between Boycott Miami and community and business leaders that took 16 months to negotiate. The group had a 20 point plan that included scholarships, internships, job training, and financial aid for Black students interested in pursuing careers in the tourism industry; $250,000 from the Knight Foundation for 125 scholarships for Black students; a deposit of $2.5 million into the People’s Bank of Commerce (what was Florida’s only Black-owned bank at the time); steering more supply contracts to minority-owned businesses; and pursuing financing for a Black-owned and operated premier oceanfront resort.
