MIAMI (WSVN) — As part of Black History Month, the City of Miami Black Police Precinct honored some officers who made history.
On Thursday, the museum recognized the first five African-American police officers who patrolled the streets of Miami back in 1944. The officers are known as Ralph White, Moody Hall, Clyde Lee, Edward Kimball, and John Milledge.
