Bike Ride to Celebrate Liberty City, Little Haiti, and Overtown, celebrating Diversity

Both groups hope to educate participants on neighborhood cultural and social projects. In Overtown, a community group, URGENT Inc., is creating a series of murals, which highlight the area's history. In Liberty City at the MCI Ka Boom Playground the Miami Children's Initiative has been working on a project to lift children out of poverty one child at a time. At the Little Haiti Cultural Center they are busy managing the new opening of the Caribbean Marketplace, an updated space for arts, crafts, culture, and food.

Tangentially, the ride is to counter biased reporting the media engages in about what the neighborhoods are like and the people who live in them. Naomi Ross of CDM comments, ". . . when people go to these neighborhoods, they are just passing through . . . . This experience will allow riders to connect with the community on a deeper level."
