Alligator Alcatraz lawsuit, the loss of a Liberty City activist and Miami's Great Hurricane

from The South Florida Roundup

On this week's episode of The South Florida Roundup, we looked at the sudden revival of the plaintiffs’ case in their challenge to the state - or is it the federal? - migrant detention center in the Everglades known as Alligator Alcatraz [01:09]. We also spoke with a close friend of Dwight Wells, the beloved Liberty City community activist and mentor who was shot dead on Oct. 10 [19:07]. And we talked with Karen Dustman, the author of the book Miami’s Great Hurricane about how that storm a century ago made us better prepared in this century [35:03].
