Light refreshments will be served and you will also have the opportunity to share your experience during our oral history collection. \nAbout the Exhibition: \nThis exhibition is dedicated to honoring the noteworthy contributions of Black women within the spheres of law enforcement and the judicial system. This curatorial idea emerges as a profound initiative by Chief Anita Najiy\, the inaugural female Assistant Chief of the City of Miami Police Department\, during the February 2023 Black History Month celebrations where she decided to honor black women in Miami Police Department. Employing glass mixed media print and fabric\, Chief Najiy adeptly captures the imagery of Black women\, imbuing the exhibition with contextual depth that underscores their pivotal roles in shaping law enforcement practices. \nThe motivation behind this exhibit is that Black women not only shattered glass ceilings but also effectuated transformative changes within law enforcement departments. The impact of these changes can be seen in present day practices on the police force: emergency response\, enhanced case-solving methodologies transcending state boundaries\, and the introduction of policies fostering gender equity within the force. \nIn an homage to Black Women in law enforcement and the judicial system\, Chief Anita Najiy received a museum commission to craft a commemorative series of 100 plates\, employing her distinctive mixed media design. Titled “THIS WOMEN’S WORK: A Tribute to Justice For All\,” this meticulously curated exhibition aims to highlight the exceptional contributions of Black women occupying influential positions. The incorporation of the West African (Ashanti) kente cloth\, traditionally reserved for royalty and special occasions\, serves as a poignant symbol on each plate. This fabric\, imbued with historical significance dating back to the trans-Atlantic slave trade (1501-1867)\, resonates with the narrative of nearly 60% of enslaved Black individuals trafficked during this tumultuous period. Many of these individuals\, hailing from royal families\, tragically found themselves ensnared in village tribal wars\, subsequently traded as commodities to European merchants in exchange for firearms\, textiles\, beads\, and various other commodities. \nThe exhibition’s compelling photographic depictions of Black women in their professional attire serve to underscore the persistent need for representation. This resonates particularly in light of the fact that women continue to occupy less than 32% of executive leadership roles in the workforce. Symbolically represented by glass plates\, the numerous obstacles akin to glass ceilings that women\, especially Black women\, confront in their pursuit of recognition for work equal to that of their male counterparts are vividly depicted. \nBeyond its aesthetic richness\, the exhibition aspires to shed light on the daily challenges faced by Black women\, fostering a dialogue on the imperative need for equal compensation for their invaluable services. “This Woman’s Work” draws inspiration from the musical compositions of the American artist Maxwell\, specifically his melodious celebration of women’s joys and contributions in the song title this exhibit is named after. His song serves as an admonishment for men to shoulder the responsibility of ensuring that women are treated with respect and adorned for their achievements. \nThis exhibition will remain on display until April 1\, 2024. \nFor more information please contact docent@historicalblackprecinct.org or call 305.329.2513.

The United States Congress has called her “the first lady of civil rights” and “the mother of the freedom movement”. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n On December 1\, 1955\, in Montgomery\, Alabama\, Parks rejected bus driver James F. Blake’s order to relinquish her seat in the “colored section” to a white passenger\, after the whites-only section was filled. Parks was not the first person to resist bus segregation\, but the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) believed that she was the best candidate for seeing through a court challenge after her arrest for civil disobedience in violating Alabama segregation laws. Parks’ prominence in the community and her willingness to become a controversial figure inspired the Black community to boycott the Montgomery buses for over a year\, the first major direct action campaign of the post-war civil rights movement. This year-long boycott resulted in the desegregation of buses in Montgomery\, Alabama on December 20\, 1956. Rosa Parks remained a civil rights activist until her passing. When she passed away in 2005\, she became the first female American who was not an elected official to lie in honor in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol. \nImage: Rosa Parks in a beauty salon in Miami\, 1986.
