- Richmond Heights, a community in southwest Miami, Florida, was founded in 1949 by Capt. Frank Crawford Martin for African American World War II veterans. He thought this community would be a good business venture, but for this white man in the late 1940s it turned into a tool for social change leading all the way to the White House. Miami's Richmond Heights chronicles the beginnings of the original residents who were Veterans, Tuskegee Airmen, doctors, and university professors. It explores the vision for the community, how it translated to residents, as well as their descendants today. The inadvertent effects of Captain Martin are still evident decades later. Despite segregation, there are many stories of resilience and accomplishments from the legacy of the original pioneers of Richmond Heights. Today the community has birthed many doctors, pilots, and inventors. This infectious spirit lives on today in the legacy of those pioneers and they embody it everyday.
