Black people founded Miami, and South Florida remained an affluent Black enclave before redlining and urban renewal. The wealth and class mobility Cubans have is the direct result of the U.S. government investing $11B in Cuban communities while destroying Black South Florida.
It was Mamdani's stance on Palestine that made me support him. I knocked on doors in Harlem when Black politicians were endorsing Cuomo, and Black people in Harlem had no idea who he was. I registered people to vote for him. I earned the right to be pissed!
