Step inside one of South Florida's most significant landmarks of the Civil Rights era on this guided tour of the Hampton House, a historic hotel and cultural center that served as a gathering place for African American leaders, entertainers, athletes, and travelers during the era of segregation. Located in Brownsville, Miami, the Hampton House welcomed notable figures such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, and many of the era's most influential musicians and performers when they were excluded from other accommodations.

This tour explores the building's architectural history, its role within the Green Book network, and its significance as a center of social, cultural, and political activity. Participants will learn how the preservation and restoration of the Hampton House transformed a neglected property into a community asset that educates future generations about Miami's diverse history. Through guided discussion and observation, attendees will examine the intersection of architecture, historic preservation, civil rights history, and cultural heritage, gaining a deeper understanding of how historic places can serve as powerful tools for storytelling, community identity, and civic engagement.
