There Was More To Miami...Then The Super Bowl.

By now everyone knows the Super Bowl has the first ever, not one, but two black coaches.
The half time Show has a Black Star accompanied by the best
Black College Band in the World.
What's not being mentioned is the Super Bowl is not actually being played in Miami.
The stadium is located in the heart of Miami Gardens, South Florida's first newly incorporated city of African American middle to upper class professionals.To top that off, the city not only has an African American Female mayor, but African
American Police Chief, City Attorney, City Clerk and the entire City council.
So my Brothas and Sisters spread the word . As we watch the big game this day we will truly be ":Representing".
