MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Miami's Black Police Precinct and Courthouse Museum is now home to memorabilia of the first Black police officers in the city of Miami.
The precinct opened as a courtroom and police headquarters in 1950.
It's the only structure in the nation designed and operated as a separate station house and court for Black Americans.
It closed in 1963 when the department integrated into the Miami Police Department.
Photojournalist Peter Miranda got an inside look at the museum.
