No matter how long you’ve lived in Miami, chances are your knowledge of the city’s
history is less thorough than your knowledge of the city’s parking garages and happy-
hour spots. But because February is Black History Month, now is the time to expand
your understanding of the cultural diversity that has made Miami what it is today.
Hop on a [_Big Bus_](http://eng.bigbustours.com/miami/home.html) for a cruise through
the Magic City’s African-American landmarks on the [_Black History Month Heritage Tour._](http://www.theblackarchives.org/the-village/explore/black-heritage-cultural-tours/)
Under the guidance of Timothy A. Barber, history professor and executive director
of the [_Black Archives_](http://www.theblackarchives.org/), you’ll visit historic
spots, from Lemon City to Overtown to Coconut Grove, and learn much more about neighborhoods
you probably haven’t explored. Plus, pop into the [_Purvis Young_ ](http://www.purvisyoung.com/)
exhibition at the historic [_Lyric Theater_](http://www.theblackarchives.org/lyric-theater/history-of-overtowns-historic-lyric-theater/)
and see expressionist works from a man who helped Miami make its name as a world-
class art city.
