A beautiful African people. African-Bahamians were the first African-descended settlers in Miami, with them they brought home structures to the neighborhoods they settled, such as Coconut Grove you can still see today.
If y'all want to go somewhere else aside from South Beach when you go on vacation to my hometown, try checking out the Goombay festival in Coconut Grove to get a taste of Black Miami. MAY 14TH-17TH 2020 …conutgrovebahamiangoombayfestival.com 
West Coconut Grove is a Bahamian enclave & African-American neighborhood in Miami that's holding on fighting against gentrification. Now referred to as "the West Grove" or "the Black Grove". African-Bahamians & Southern African-Americans came together and became Black Miamians.
All throughout Black Miami you'll find Bahamian cultural remnants like conch you can buy on the streets.
Not only Miami, Afro-Bahamians spread over Black SouthFL. In the heart of Black Ft. Lauderdale, Sistrunk, which is in Broward County to the north of Miami-Dade County, I found a Bahamian restaurant there too. The culture often stays alive through the food. sunny.org/multicultural-…
When I visited Nassau, it felt just like Black SouthFL. I felt at home. The Bahamas is flat like South FL too. Warm weather & palm trees. Bahamas has prettier beaches and water though! Educulture Bahamas the Junkanoo Museum in Nassau
