"What is the point of voting?" Cuz Don Mizell addressed this question to Professor Charles Ogletree at the FMU/Harvard Black Alumni Society's Voter Rights Teach-in on Saturday, September 8th in the Lou Rawls Performing Arts Center on FMU's campus.  Don's added comments drew applause because he clearly explained  the value of the vote as it relates to turning your interests into a reality...  Professor Ogletree's examples offered more insight into that part of the political process.

TRANSCRIPT
The Mizells -- National and Florida pioneers... I'm Cheryl Mizell with a Family Profile in Black History...
 
The Mizell family's distinctive record of achievement in Broward County began when my Granduncle Isadore S. Mizell, the son of an ex-slave, settled in Dania Beach in 1908 -- before Broward was a County...
 
Born in Jasper, Florida, in 1882, Isadore, the patriarch of Broward's most prominent Black family, built Broward County's first school for Black children in 1912, the first church for Blacks, and several homes for Black residents in the Dania neighborhood known as Camp Blanding.  This pioneer was an extensive builder, saavy real estate investor, and the largest independent farmer in Broward. 
 
Isadore married my Grandaunt Minnie in 1906 and they had 14 children.  Although he didn't finish grade school, he strongly believed in the value of education for Blacks, sending all six daughters and eight sons to high school; Ten to college, five to postgraduate, and one to med school -- Dr. Von D. Mizell, Broward's first Black surgeon. 
 
 Isadore lived more than a hundred years -- passing in 1986. The street named in his honor is an extension of Dania Beach Boulevard and intersects with Dr. Von D. Mizell Drive on AIA which leads to the only Florida state park named for Blacks -- Dr. Von D. Mizell & Eula Johnson... 
 
The Mizells were, and continue to be, true pioneers... I'm Cheryl Mizell, proudly speaking their names.

TRANSCRIPT

The Mizells -- National and Florida pioneers... I'm Cheryl Mizell with a Family Profile in Black History... 

My cousin, Dewey Knight, Jr., was a pioneer of unprecedented achievement in the history of Miami-Dade County government. 

Born in Daytona Beach, Florida in 1930, Dewey graduated from Bethune Cookman College, completed four years in the Air Force, and earned a Masters in Social Work from Atlanta University.

He married the late Clara Louise Brown of Miami in 1955 and they were blessed with two sons, Dewey III and Patrick.

The Mizell family's distinguished record of accomplishments in Miami-Dade began when Dewey moved to the Magic City in 1959, landed a job at Kendall Children’s Home, later becoming the agency’s first Black social worker and despite threats of jail, advocated for integration… 

Dewey made history as the first Black department director hired by Miami-Dade County government in 1967, the first Black appointed to assistant county manager in 1970, the first and only deputy county manager in 1985, and as three-time acting county manager -- a position he was offered several times but chose family first... There, Dewey made monumental strides in County health and social services: led the Housing and Youth Services Departments, and created the Department of Human Resources.

Dewey passed in 1995 -- an inspiration to many… State Road 112 between Miami International Airport and I-95 was renamed in his honor, and he is the only Black of four Distinguished Public Servants to have a life-sized portrait displayed in the lobby of the Miami-Dade County Government Center.

The Mizells were, and continue to be true pioneers... I'm Cheryl Mizell, proudly speaking their names.
