What truly makes a neighborhood a community? Perhaps there's no better example than the 16-block Bahama Village in Key West.
In this episode, join host Elizabeth Harryman Lasley and producer Jason Paton as we learn about the historically black Bahama Village from its 19th-century origins to the present day. Our guide is Clayton Lopez, a fourth-generation island resident, local personality and a Key West City Commissioner.
He takes us on a walking tour of Bahama Village, sharing some of his neighborhood's triumphs and struggles. We meet residents Glen Hayes and Peggy Ward Grant, both instrumental in preserving the neighborhood’s rich heritage.
