The Wolfsonian-FIU to Host Hollywood & History Series II with Dr. Frank Luca 

Hollywood & History Series II with Dr. Frank Luca 
HEARST VS WELLES: THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES BATTLES OVER CITIZEN KANE 
When Orson Welles decided to make a movie that exposed the private life of William Randolph Hearst to public scrutiny and ridicule, the media magnate used his considerable power and influence to suppress the film. Using materials from the Library of Congress, The Wolfsonian Library,  and film clips, we will try to discern fact from fiction, exposure, and omission, in Welles’ portrayal of the rise and fall of an American media mogul—a masterpiece of cinema that almost never made it to the theaters.  

Date: Friday, October 18, 2024
Time: 6:30–8 pm 
Location: The Wolfsonian–FIU @ 1001 Washington Avenue

TRAVEL+LEISURE Votes Historic Virginia Key Beach Park As One of Best Beaches in Miami + Voted Great Girl Trip Destination by Conde Nast Traveler

Travel + Leisure's online publication recently rated the "Best Beaches in Miami with Turquoise Waters and Stunning White Sand." Here is what they had to say about our beloved park: "About a 15-minute drive from downtown Miami on Virginia Key, this beach may appeal to travelers seeking a more secluded, old Florida feel. The mile-long stretch of sand was designated an exclusively Black beach in the 1940s and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. For extra privacy, consider renting one of the colorful beachfront cabins, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis and include a barbecue grill and a picnic table. Families with little ones can even ride an antique carousel on weekends."
