Celebrating Black History
in Little Haiti
Martin Luther King, Jr. Art Gallery
The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Parade and Festivities Committee approached us looking for a way to honor Dr. King's legacy, after the January 2021 annual parade was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Metro1 was thrilled to take part in carrying on the tradition in a new way, by donating a warehouse space in Little Haiti to the committee to transform into an art gallery. The art gallery displayed dozens of pieces submitted by local artists honoring Civil Rights, Black History, and Dr. Martin Luther King.
The Martin Luther King Jr. Art Gallery is open from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, February 20th & 21st
220 NE 59th Street, Miami, FL
