In a tribute to one of Miami’s most revered community leaders, Commissioner Keon Hardemon is set to preside over a street naming ceremony in honor of the late Dr. Enid Curtis Pinkney. The event, open to public attendance, will be held this Friday at 10 a.m., against the historical backdrop of the Historic Hampton House, located at 4240 NW 27th Ave., Miami, FL 33142. Celebrating Pinkney’s storied life and enduring influence on the region, the gathering will see friends, family, and local dignitaries paying homage to her legacy.
A significant figure in the preservation of Miami-Dade County’s African American heritage, Dr. Pinkney was known for her staunch advocacy for civil rights and cultural conservation; her passing on July 18. Local government has recognized her contributions through Commissioner Hardemon, who sponsored a resolution naming the stretch of NW 42nd St. between NW 27th Ave. and NW 29th Ave, as “Dr. Enid Curtis Pinkney Street,” according to aMiami-Dade County advisory.
Pinkney played a key role in founding several historical societies and was instrumental in restoring the Historic Hampton House, the site of an upcoming commemoration. Her dedication to preserving history enriched her community and ensured future generations would continue to honor this legacy.
