Cubans Have Transformed Miami Into an Island of Opportunity : Immigrants: The exiles and their children dominate the economy, government and culture. The new order worries some black leaders.
MIAMI — Tony de Varona, a former member of the Cuban senate, remembers the signs in the store windows when he first came to Miami years ago:
“No children. No dogs. And no Hispanics.”

Dade Superintendent Steps Down After Five Years
The superintendent of the Dade County, Fla., schools announced his resignation last week after more than five years at the helm of the nation’s fourth-largest district.

Mr. Visiedo, a native of Cuba who began his career as an elementary school bus aide, said he intends to start a consulting firm and teach part time at the college level.
