Fifty years ago, North Miami Senior High School students lived in neighborhoods where most kept their doors unlocked at night. Today, many say they feel unsafe in their school and their neighborhoods. Past and present students share their varied experiences of going to school and growing up in North Miami.
Join us for ¿Que Pasa, U.S.A.? LIVE on Thursday, March 3. It's a celebration of 40 years of the Miami-Dade Public Library System, the Peña family and Spanglish!
