ON DISPLAY AT THE ART DECO MUSEUM, STEVE WRIGHT'S PHOTOS SHOWCASE LITTLE HAVANA'S BEAUTY AND WONDER HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT
As executive director of the Miami Design Preservation League (MDPL), Daniel Ciraldo works to ensure Little Havana doesn't face the same overdevelopment and subsequent cultural displacement and erasure that many neighborhoods in Miami currently experience.
"MDPL
was involved in the preservation efforts for a part of East Little Havana,
which took place in 2015.
From there,
the National Trust for Historic Preservation recognized the significance of the
neighborhood, and working together with local groups, they declared Little
Havana to be a national treasure, leading to additional investment and the
undertaking of a revitalization plan to preserve and promote the area,"
Ciraldo says.
