At Historic Virginia Key Beach Park\u2019s 80th birthday party on Aug. 1, seniors who went to the beach as children celebrated alongside kids visiting for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The historic site<\/a>, once a \u201ccolored beach\u201d for Black residents during segregation, has a special place in the hearts of locals and leadership at the Virginia Key Beach Park Trust. To celebrate its legacy and the upcoming museum groundbreaking, they held a classic beach birthday party featuring a cake cutting and a presentation of the landmark\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The party\u2019s dance floor was reminiscent of the beach\u2019s opening, back when there wasn\u2019t even a causeway to connect the mainland to Virginia Key. Where beachgoers once did the twist, today\u2019s visitors are doing the cupid shuffle. Hosted by the Trust\u2019s marketing director, Kechi Okpala, the party included food, dancing, Black history teachings and a poetry performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okpala introduced Historic Virginia Key Beach Park Trust Executive Director Athalie Edwards, who underscored the importance of the celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important for people to know that back then in 1945, there was nowhere for Black people to recreate,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A source of pride<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In sharing the ecological and historical aspects of her work, Edwards was overflowing with pride in how far the park has come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDoes everyone know what\u2019s going on today? They don\u2019t want you to talk about Black history,\u201d she continued. \u201cThey don\u2019t want us to talk about the things that happened to us, that happened to our ancestors, how we were suppressed and we were not treated equally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plessy V. Ferguson, which established what we know as the \u201cseparate but equal\u201d segregation experience, wasn\u2019t enough, she said, because the \u201cequal\u201d part didn\u2019t exist. Virginia Key was established as a colored beach only after a group of activists led a “wade-in\u201d protest at Haulover Beach in 1945. Prior to that, Black Miamians had had no shoreline access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, \u201cWe got the worst part of the beach,\u201d Edwards said. \u201cBut you look at it today, and people want to make it into a beautiful part.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miami\u2019s historically Black neighborhoods, like Brownsville and Allapattah, naturally have special ties with the park, Edwards said. \u201cThose different areas that were socially disadvantaged \u2026 we made sure that you guys had a place to come. And we\u2019re going to continue through the Trust and the mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The currently flourishing state of the beach is due to several restoration projects completed over the years, a result of the formation and work of the Virginia Key Beach Park Trust. Through regular testing, they have found that they have \u201cthe cleanest water on Virginia Key,\u201d according to Edwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next step is to open a museum at the historical site, which will begin construction this year. Edwards said a groundbreaking ceremony originally planned for the 80th anniversary party has since been postponed by a couple of months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bridging past and future<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before attendees made it to the dance floor, they gathered in the main office building for a history presentation with old photos and information on what the Trust has planned for its future. Most of the attendees were Charles Hadley Park Senior Program members who have attended many of the park\u2019s events in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI learned a lot of stuff that I didn\u2019t know,\u201d said member Lorna Smith. \u201cThey told us a lot of stuff that we may not have known about Virginia Key Beach. I remember coming here as a child, because it was time for our families to come together.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of that history includes the park\u2019s closure in 1982 due to the City of Miami\u2019s inability to maintain it, and the establishment of the Virginia Key Beach Park Trust in 2000. The park was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the shoreline revived. Now, these seniors are excited to experience the park again for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith enjoyed going when she was younger because \u201cwe had our families come from all different parts of the United States, and we could have a picnic here on the beach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While many other beaches remain popular in Miami, Friday\u2019s partygoers say that people are missing out on Virginia Key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something that they need to know, part of their roots, and even if they\u2019re not of Black heritage, it\u2019s history, and it\u2019s an experience that you have to come experience yourself,\u201d said Smith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She pointed out the many children there visiting from their summer camps, enjoying the music and icy treats, and sees a new generation enjoying the beach in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barbara Brown comes every year with the Charles Hadley seniors to any meetings the Trust makes available to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEverybody comes and puts their input into it, and then we put new things in the beach,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The presentation showed her things people may have forgotten or missed out on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of our seniors lived here as a child. His father managed the beach,\u201d Brown shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Childhood memories were a common theme, especially those of birthday parties celebrated in the exact spot where the 80th anniversary event was held, on that concrete dance floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children from City of Miami summer camps brought joy to the seniors\u2019 faces with impromptu dance performances to their favorite songs. While the kids were there to have fun, it\u2019s also important to the Trust that this be a learning experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education and volunteer coordinator Maya Forbes shared more on educational programs for the youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe offer a variety of different field trips. Those field trips include onsite field trips where the students can physically come here,\u201d she said, adding that they also go to the schools to deliver programming or educate virtually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most school textbooks cover the country\u2019s national civil rights story, while Virginia Key\u2019s programming offers a local angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor example, we\u2019re going to talk about D.A. Dorsey and how he became Miami\u2019s first Black millionaire, and he used his wealth to purchase our [land] and use it as the unofficial beach for the Black community,\u201d Forbes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forbes says the birthday party turned out just how they wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur goal for our 80th was definitely to bridge that intergenerational gap,\u201d she said. \u201cThey are the next stewards of this land and the legacy of this park.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
