HistoryMiami Museum

From Jonestown to Hurricane Andrew; join photojournalist Tim Chapman for a highlights tour of our new exhibition Newsman.* Hear personal accounts about the history of South Florida and beyond. Tim Chapman personally connects the dverse population of Miami-Dade County to the many stories stoures he covered in his 40 year career at the Miami Herald. 
"The faces you see in Miami from all over Central America, the Caribbean, Haiti, Cuba, those are the stories I covered — the reasons why they’re here. Things like the Nicaraguan civil war, the El Salvador civil war, Cuba since 1978, Haiti since 1979. Those events are what made Miami what it is, for better or worse, and you’re able to see why.
I covered Colombia. I was in Medellin when Pablo Escobar was there blowing up people. He blew up a good friend of mine, although he didn’t kill her. For me, it was all connected. In Miami I listened to the police scanners [during the drug wars]. For a few years I was shooting drug violence every day. Bodies here, bodies there, one year it was more than 300 bodies." -Tim Chapman (Interview with The New Tropic)
