Hi,storic Research & Video Documentation, Estimate 1
(South Miami eRA'Area)
Black Town -A Short History of ~Iack South Miami
Treatment: "Black Town" will document the history of Black South Miami
using oral history interviews with elder residents combined with research,
letters, family records, and historic photographs. The story will start in 1912
with the arrival of Marshall Williamson, a trade-school educated carpenter
and entrepreneur, who was the first black person to purchase property in
what would become Black Town. We will hear from people yvho knew him
talk about his ability to bridge the racial divide and work with an all white
city commission to achieve social and economic benefits for his community.
His civic activism and devotion to building a community set an example for
those who followed in his footsteps. His philanthropy left a lasting legacy in
his donation of land for churches,· a school for black children and a park.
We will see how Black Town developed ihto a stable, tightly-knit community
of entrepreneurs, farm laborers, and factory workers, employed in a local
tomato cannery and the Holsum Bakery, and as domestic helpers.
Interview.ees will talk about the positive and negative impact of
desegregation and the drug scourge of the 80's that challenged families
and the role of the civic and religious leaders in the community.
Based on an understanding of Black Town's past and Williamson1s legacy
of civic engagement and community pride, we look at the ongoing
challenges for development in the community.
The finished product will be 8-10 minutes in length.
Visualization: The project will be shoUn a professional HD video
format, giving maximum quality and the longest potential technical
"life" for the media. The finished 8 -10 minute video will have full
graphic elements.
Implementation: Interviews and personal stories will bring the story
of "Black Town" to life. The interviews will be edited with historic
photos from public and private sources as well as the archives of the
City of South Miami. The project will be edited using professional
computer software and graphics.

Stephen.
I wanted to let you know that we have started initial filming on the video. We shot
images and an interview at the Historic Bethel House in Perrine, and talked with Helen
Gage about shotgun house design. We are now arranging for filming in South Miami and
will keep you posted about how things progress.
In our meeting you said you had some people who knew Marshall Williamson and
might be able to talk about him, community life and how it has changed over the years.
The final point is about the process we should follow for payment. Should our invoice
go to you for handling? On these projects, when we start filming we invoice for half of
the total amount. The final payment is invoiced when we deliver the [mal product.
We look forward to working with you on this project. If you have any questions, feel
free to contact us.
Regards,
Carl
