Clockwise from top-left, Von D. Mizell (formed the first South Florida NAACP chapter), Joseph A. Ely (first principal of Dillard High School and later Crispus Attucks High School), Eula Johnson (civil rights activist known as the Rosa Parks of Broward County) and segregation at the beaches. The paintings, made by Kyle Harris of Harris Art Studio, are part of “Ode to South Broward,” a new exhibit at Old Dillard Museum spotlighting the pioneers of four historically black neighborhoods.
