By enlisting to save the Union\, these new arrivals affirmed their loyalty to their adopted country. In turn\, the war and its tremendous loss of life encouraged President Abraham Lincoln to expand immigration from Europe to fill the depleted ranks of both the military and private industry. Quickly winning the right to vote\, German- and Irish-born voters forever changed the face of U.S. elections. With a focus on Lincoln and his impact on immigration policy\, this symposium will look back and explore the surprising role of immigration and immigrants on the battles and politics of the Civil War era and beyond.

Although not a native Miamian\, she is a 305-er at heart. Ingrid has remained true to her indigenous roots and is passionate about Native American history and culture. She is best known for her eco-history tours of Miami’s historic sites\, neighborhoods\, and waterways. Ingrid currently serves as Museum of Miami’s Coordinator of Education Programs and Community Engagement and has been with the museum for over 10 years. \n\n\n\n\n\nJ.S. RashidPresident & CEO of SECTOR Public Private Partners\, Inc.\n\n\n\nJ.S. Rashid serves as a community development professional in the Historic African American and Bahamian enclave in the Coconut Grove community of Miami also known as “Village West” and “Little Bahamas.” He has engaged in the promotion and preservation of the culture and history of this sector of Coconut Grove for several years – serving as a consultant to the Coconut Grove Cemetery Committee\, which manages the historically designated Mariah Brown House; as a programmatic supporter and promoter of the iconic Goombay Festival; and as founder of the KROMA Art Gallery during Art Basel 2013\, a multidisciplinary arts and media center designed to support artists and engage the public. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Barnacle Historic State Park\n\n\n\nBuilt in 1891\, The Barnacle offers a glimpse of frontier life during the Era of the Bay\, when all travel to and from Miami was by sea. Situated on the shore of Biscayne Bay\, this was the home of Ralph Middleton Munroe\, one of Coconut Grove’s most charming and influential pioneers. Munroe preserved the forest on his land\, cutting out only a winding buggy trail through the hammock — barely wide enough for one vehicle. As a result\, the property contains many large\, old trees. Left in its natural state\, The Barnacle Historic State Park appears much as it did in Munroe’s day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeeting Location:In front of The Barnacle Historic State Park3485 Main Hwy\, Miami\, FL 33133\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdditional Information\n\n\n\nPlease see below for additional information regarding the tour.
