The first two days were for participant observation and archival and library research specifically.\u00a0 The third day was set for 1 interview and archival research.\u00a0 I went to the Homestead library, the downtown Miami Library, and History Miami Museum to conduct archival research.\u00a0 At Homestead library I was able to find some resources that depicted the beach during the 1950\u2019s and 60\u2019s and even a few pictures.\u00a0 At the downtown Miami museum, looking through the microfilm of newspapers (Miami Herald and South Dade News Leader), I was able to find a few articles that mentioned the beach, but none that went into detail about the segregation there.\u00a0 I had an appointment\u00a0 History Miami to look through the archives they have for Homestead, but there was some miscommunication and she though that I meant the next day.\u00a0 For the participant observation, the Rodeo parade was observed as well as the crowd and their responses to the parade.<\/p>\n
The interview I conducted was with another Biscayne employee.\u00a0 This interview went very well.\u00a0 It lasted for a few minutes over an hour and all of the questions weren\u2019t answered so another appointment was scheduled to continue.\u00a0 The interview lasted longer than the others conducted, possibly because there was not an extra person and larger camera present.<\/p>\n
