Location convenient to everything in Miami

In 2016, Liberty City gained national recognition with the release of the year's Academy Award-winning Best Picture, "Moonlight," a film inspired by the writer and director Barry Jenkins's upbringing in Liberty City. The area is conveniently located in Miami, offering easy access to anything in the city. Its housing is relatively more affordable than other neighborhoods, but it's still close to popular restaurants and art galleries, downtown and the beach. Within Liberty City, neighborhood organizations like Charles Hadley Park, the Historic Hampton House and the African Heritage Cultural Arts Center help residents come together to celebrate their culture and connect with their community, and local restaurants serving Southern and seafood keep their stomachs happy. "In Liberty City, you're in a great location," says Jason Matouk, a local Realtor who runs a YouTube channel about South Florida real estate. "You're minutes away from Wynwood and Edgewater, two of the most popular areas to hang out in Miami. From there, you can cross the bridge to Miami Beach or take a scooter downtown."

Historic Hampton House and African Heritage Cultural Arts Center

Liberty City preserves its history with institutions like the Historic Hampton House, a gathering spot during the civil rights movement that hosts community events like art exhibitions, concerts and a speaker series, and the African Heritage Cultural Arts Center, which has seasonal festivals and art exhibitions and theater productions throughout the year. Each January, Liberty City hosts Miami's annual MLK Day Parade. The nearby neighborhood of Wynwood also offers rich cultural opportunities, like Art Basel, an annual international art fair. The rest of the year, though, "It's just walls and walls of murals, and they rotate monthly," Matouk says. "It's a really cool area. I had family come to town recently, and we spent hours just walking around and looking at all the art. It's the perfect place to spend a Saturday."

My experience of a PLWHA has stigmatized to the point that no one wants to be the face of HV. We to the change the stigma by standing up and showing that HIV/AIDS is not a death sentence unless you chose not to live.

It's an unsafe environment to live in and raise kids. People are losing their kids to gun violence in the area. The area isn't safe. I would like to see changes in the neighborhood to help decrease gun violence and promote opportunities for the youth to help them grow into successful individuals.
