This book helps inject the Miami Times into the historical
narrative of the Civil Rights Movement in Florida by highlighting
its role in Rice v Arnold, a 1949 lawsuit filed by black
recreational golfers in Miami to oppose segregation on the city's
public golf course. Founded in 1923 by Bahamian-born H.E.S. Reeves
who ran the newspaper with his son Garth C. Reeves Sr., the
newspaper financially and editorially supported efforts to
desegregate Miami schools, beaches, residential communities, public
transportation systems and sports complexes. Its support of the
Rice v Arnold legal challenge is but one example that demonstrates
how the newspaper, as a conduit of social change, worked with other
Miami community leaders to improve conditions for the city's black
population.
