Barber Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater Cultural Arts Complex April 14, 2016 Honorable Commissioner Chairman Keon Hardemon 3500 Pan American Drive Miami, FL 33133 Dear Chairman Hardemon, SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION The Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater is proud to be the largest employer and workforce training facility in the Southeast Overtown Park West Community Redevelopment area. We are thankful that over a period of three years, we have been able to partner with the SEOPW CRA to train and employ over one hundred (100) individuals and residents while changing the fabric and perception of the Overtown community. While many have looked away from this community with a blind eye, together we have embrace a culture of reviving this once vibrant community. We are extremely excited that we have with the help of Miami Dade County's $10 Million dollar investment, reopened this wonderful and famous facility. Today, I am requesting an increase in operational support for this venue as we continue to make strides to increase the continuous activity at the Historic Lyric Theater while providing employment for the people of this community. The Black Archives has been in existence since 1977, and with the three grants received from the SEOPW CRA over the last four years we have been able to partner with organizations like that Greater Miami Convention Visitor's Bureau, Big Bus, and Visit Florida to increase the influx of tourist, first time, renewed, and return visitors to the Overtown Community. Commissioner, just like you, the Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater is fighting daily to change the public perception of this community and afford opportunities for the residents to benefit directly from your support. I am happy to say that we have accomplished this goal, by giving opportunities to advance the lives of second chance offenders, single parents, and people that has been given no chance to survive. Many of our employees have been able to transition from this employment to new and exciting careers since establishing and re-establishing themselves through our program. Also, several residents have been able to gain full-time sustainable employment here at the Lyric, and it is all because of you. As you are presented our proposal and request for continued and long standing support to the cultural anchor of this community since 1913, it is my hope that you will see our need and meet us where we are, I would like to schedule a meeting at your earliest convenience to discuss our proposal further if you would like. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 789.708.4610. Thank you. Sincer Timothy A.

Nut - ,I Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater Cultural Arts Complex PROGRAVIVIING The Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater (BAHLT) specializes in developing excellent relationships with the community through impactful programming. We believe that this unique position, combined with competitively priced activities will set the complex apart as a premiere venue. In addition to Black Archives Signature Programming, the organization has also partnered with several community arts organizations to present programming at the Theater, including: Miami Contemporary Dance Company, M Ensemble, Miami -Dade College, WLRN, University of Miami, Florida A & M University, Florida Memorial University, Miami -Dade County, New World School of the Arts, the Melton Mustafa Jazz Festival, City of Miami and the Southeast Overtown Park West Community Redevelopment Agency. Some examples of BAHLT Signature Programming include: Black Archives presents "Lyric Live" - In conjunction with New Washington Heights CDC's monthly Folklife Friday event, the Black Archives presents a monthly interactive talent showcase. The event features a local comedian as host, a live band, DJ, and the Bahamian Junkanoo serving as the sandman to usher less favored contestants off the stage with a unique Miami flair. Black Archives presents "Expressions, an Evening of Spoken Word and Live Jazz"— Recipient of the 2013 Knight Arts Challenge, "Expressions" is an open-mic spoken word session featuring jazz bands, drinks and a lounge -like atmosphere. Black Archives presents "The South Florida Marching Band Precision Camp " — Targeting student musicians from 8th to 12th grades, this week-long camp includes instrumental music, symphonic and marching band, as well as auxiliary instruction for students and band directors throughout South Florida. Through their engagement in the band camp, students increase their level of musicianship, marching band skills, dedication, creativity, pride, teamwork, and develop life-long friendships. The camp culminates with a parade and marching band performance, as well as a symphonic band performance on the Lyric stage, giving the campers an opportunity to share their talents with the community. Black Archives presents "ICONS" — Highlighting the Black Archives Archival Department in a coffee table -talk setting, ICONS will feature local pioneers reflecting on significant times in South Florida history. The talk will be moderated by a local radio personality, and accompanied by visual aids from the archival collection, as well as a talk back session between attendees and the featured speaker. Some of the anticipated speakers include: Dr. Dorothy Jenkins Fields (Black Archives Founder); Garth C. Reeves, Sr. (Founder, The Miami Times); Dr. Enid Pinkney (Founding President, Historic Hampton House Community Trust); and others. Black Archives programming is supported by the Southeast Overtown Park West Community Redevelopment Agency, Miami -Dade County, The Knight Foundation, Black Archives Members and private donations. As an additional method of generating sustaining income and maintaining ongoing activity in the area, the Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater is also available for rental by private citizens, community organizations and performing and visual arts presentations.

Lyric Live is hosted by local comedian, accompanied by a DJ, and a house band. The show features a twist on the Amateur Night at the Apollo feel, by adding the distinctly local flavor of an authentic Bahamian Junkanoo band in lieu of the "Sandman." The audience is the judge, as winners compete for a $500 cash prize each month and for a slot on the Lyric Live All Stars season -ending showcase. The culminating All Stars event features the season's monthly winners, celebrity guest judges and a prize package including a cash award. Past guest judges have included Harry "KC" Wayne Casey (KC & the Sunshine Band); Luther "Uncle Luke" Campbell (2 Live Crew); Peter Gunz (Love & Hip Hop reality star); and Kevin Evans (Grammy -Award nominated Record Executive). Lyric Live is a platform for up-and-coming amateur performers to increase their exposure to a broader audience, as well as to evaluate and strengthen their art. The Season 2 Lyric Live All Stars winner, Theron Early, went on to compete on NBC's internationally broadcast show, 'The Voice' weeks after winning on our stage! The Lyric Live program is held in conjunction with the Folklife Friday Festival, a community festival held adjacent to the Lyric Complex on the 9th Street Pedestrian Mall every first Friday of the month. It is a family -friendly night of entertainment that has become a favorite First Friday event for South Florida residents and visitors to Miami.

The "Expressions" program features new local talent on the same platform as established artists in the genre, providing more robust exposure of diverse talent to the community of spoken word and jazz enthusiasts. The inaugural 2013 season featured a local spoken word artist as host; a live band; a DJ; featured and open mic poets; and vendors featuring tastes from neighborhood restaurants. "Expressions" provides a grand setting for spoken word and authentic jazz, entertainment which has been typically restricted to small, crowded lounges and nightclub venues. The first season of "Expressions" was attended by approximately 1,200 people and was a recipient of the 2013 Knight Arts Challenge. "Expressions" will return in 2016, moving from its previous venue at the historic Ward Rooming House Gallery, to the Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater.

Long-term jchranicj homelessness has dropped 25°A. The number of homeless veterans has fallen by 24%just since 2009. HUD and the Department of Veterans Affairs have used the PIT assessments to come up with ways to directly impact the needs of homeless veterans. "You can't just have a single strateg. Shel- ter is not the answer. You need to have different types of housing is different types of communities for veterans.... The evidence -based research and policy is a real hallmark of what's allowed us to make to much progress on home- lessness,° Donovan said. already, the mevnrx of two cit- its; Phoenix and Salt Lake City, proclaimed an end to chronic homelessness among veterans in their cities. Finding shelter for members of other groups who are homeless won't be so easy. Too many other homeless people awe caught in the ideological tug of war over who is deserving of taxpayer -funded support. Even so, Donovan is optimistic. "pie have a goal to also end chron- ic homelessness by 2015 and ending fshorrt-term] family and children's homelessness by 2020. So we have not shied away from the broader challenges." Ending homelessness not only saves lives, it also saves money 'if you think about the endless cycle of shel- ters, emergency rooms, prisons; health challenges' that veterans encounter, Donovan said. While he presses this point Donovan also is net blind to the impact that sequestration and budget cuts have had an his ef- forts t0 end overall homelessness.

The historic Lyric Theater, Miami's oldest entertainment venue, symbolizes a time when O ertown was a bustling euliural hub: Jazz icon Duke Ellington thrilled audiences on its stage; poet Langston Hughes reviled here, soul songstress Aretha Franklin charmed concert -goers with her gospel tunes. Over the decades the theater, buiit in 1913 by black tycoon Geder Walker, was either treasured or neglected. Thursday evening, the renovations and expansion to the aging Icon were unveited to about 100 guests. Community leaders and organizers say the historic theater will once again brim the arts — and job opportunities — to Overtov+rri. 'This is only the beginning," said Dorothy Fields, who led the effort to save the building from demolition after it fell into disrepair in the 1980s, "My vision is that people will corne from all over the world to celebrate black cuiture at The Lyric Theater. That's my hope." Fields, founder of the Black Archives History and Research Foundation, success.fuilyr lobbied to have the theater, at 819 NW Second Ave., listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 188J. The Lyric once anchored the strip known as "Little Broadway'. during segregation when black entertainers could only stay in what was then known as Colored Town, The neighborhood-s businesses and entertainment corridor thnved before linterstate 95 10fe through the hoart of the community in the 19€ 0s. "It was literally slated to be demolished at one time, said Fields, whose farmer lived across the street from the theater. " This is a place of pride," In 2000, the Lyric reopened as a community theater. In 2004, the county set aside $10 million for its restoration and expansion_ It continued to host some community events - but closing to the public while the final stages of the expansion was completed. miami-dade county ' halm �flil�� N.Baptist 1-kalth Saudi Florida xruasw ar Ames I4% WWII aoSTA amine -en Living ETMtietTen me Opinion rit#tuanee 1-need DOI* CIMMadlrra NEW 961miFLORMA cattedt.lrirrr 1WAMI-DADEc0Utrrr f In Overtown, teens experience a band camp they will remember emearanas4tarii amevra.040. r Masters Taxation Degree Online, Lye Web V & C AACSB A Start Sao& A frmee Rrslnn predice.i n the rhmigerar T[t1 d ban. r-.a: of The rdridrra Wit ham rrt Q.rrJwG.a. ere: t Awaauv LIP =Me FLOR[ A Darteriallad Summer can be a bonny tune for youth.

A pieoe °FP+J> Young that feahueshorses, a :amnion syntorfar freedum it his wart Young's art drew on the life and characters of the neighborhood and can be easily identified by his painted figures; emotionless heads, many on squiggle -like bodies adorned with halos. The paintings are full of actity, they are noisy, semi -abstract scenes painted in thick strokes. They are a perfect example of American 'outsider art." ROOTS ?irchii:-ist Dorothy Fields, founder of the Mack Archives, remembers Young not as an internationally known painter, but as a neighborhood character who covered the exterior Wig of shotgun houses with paintings. "Are used to laugh at him,x'she recalls, »seeing this guy painting on the wall.' At the time, she and her high school peers found his paintings weird.
