DeGarnnoat48O NVVll Street to provide astation house for African American policemen and a courtroom for African American judges in which to adjudicate African American defendants. This building is unique axthere isno other known structure in the nation that was designed, devoted to and operated as aseparate station house and municipal court for Blacks. The precinct closed inlg63and the police department was integrated at the main MPDpolice station. The Africa n,4nnericanuwho served here improved their professional status within both the Black and White communities; although, they continued tobetreated assecond- class citizens. Pioneering efforts of the first five Black patrolmen opened the door for hundreds ofAfrican- American nnenandvvonnento become law enforcement officers in the Miami Police Department. Judge Lawson E.Thomas, one nftwo judges who presided inthe preoinct'scourthouse, was the first African -American judge appointed in the South since Reconstruction. Judge Thomas distinguished himself as tireless proponent ofracial equality throughout his legal career and was extremely effective in decreasing juvenile delinquency and other crimes within the community. The precinct was restored in 2008 with funding assistance from the City ofMiami, the members ofthe City ofMiami Retired Police Officers Community Benevolent Association (C{}k4'Q'POCBA).and agenerous grant from the Florida Department of State.
