At its peak the area commanded a 40,000 strong constituency. In the 1940's, 50's, and 60's, Overtown was the mecca for gospel, blues, jazz, R\u0026amp;B, soul, and funk in the Magic City. These collected interviews represent some of the voices that have contributed to the area, residents and visitors, and their reflections on life there and throughout Florida.
