Notes
- General Note:
- The video opens with Guy Forchion welcoming everyone to the Miami Foundation's "My Miami Story." The unseen film at the beginning of this clip can be found in record FIVK047604, titled "Historic Virginia Key Beach Park Trust Promotional Film." Next, Karen Moore introduces Alex Finnie, a news-journalist for Miami's Local Ten news network, as the night's moderator. The panel consists of Gene Tinnie, the chair for the Virginia Key Beach Park Trust. Next is Dwight Bullard, of the New Florida Majority and former State Senator who represented parts of Miami-Dade. Next is Matt Haggman, who worked as a reporter at the Miami Herald, worked for the Knight Foundation, and ran for the United States Congress in 2018. Next is Derrick Turton, also known as "Chef Teach." Next is Miami Commissioner Xavier Suarez. Suarez notes that the people on the panel can "make this project happen very quickly." Suarez is likely referring to the Virginia Key Beach Park Trust's planned Museum and Cultural center as he notes we have "20.5 million in capital funds," which references the money put aside for the construction of the museum. This film chronicles a round table discussion about Virginia Key Beach, and the challenges of getting people to volunteer in Miami. Next, the panel discusses how to keep bringing tourists to Miami in an effort to keep growing Miami's economy. Next, the panel discusses job growth in Miami-Dade, income inequality, and the decimation of cultural spaces in Miami, and the increased need for, and importance of, cultural tourism sites in Miami. Next, the panel discusses the role of government and its potential to aid tourism and growth in Miami and the role of privatization in government. Next, the panel discusses about the lack of arts and culture jobs in Miami and how to bring the arts, and the accompanying talent, back to the city. The panel ends by discussing Historic Virginia Key Beach, how to get Miami's citizens to engage with the city's history, and how to attract people to Historic Virginia Key Beach Park.
