“We are saving Black History – one story at a time – so the hardest truths are never lost and inspire a more just tomorrow.”

The Miami Center for Racial Justice (MCRJ) is devoted to advancing racial education and saving Florida’s often-overlooked Black history so it won’t be forgotten. Founded in 2020, in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, MCRJ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to preserving the true Black history of Florida — including, and especially, the stories that are hardest to hear. We believe understanding past truths is essential to shaping a more just future.

Central to our work are our Teach the Truth tours, which take participants directly to the pivotal sites where racial violence occurred, encouraging tour participants to confront history and spark change. We believe history is best learned where it happened — so rather than teach from a distance, we bring people to historically significant places in terms of Black Heritage, and tell the stories of those places that often leave a lasting impression and lead to teachable moments.
