The New Covenant Presbyterian Church is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA) in the Liberty City neighborhood of Miami, Florida. It is significant for being the first Southern congregation in the Presbyterian Church (USA) to break racial barriers. In the 1960s the neighborhood was experiencing a white-to-black overhaul. While many white congregations moved somewhat slowly and reluctantly toward absorbing their black neighbors during the Civil Rights era, New Covenant was the first Miami church to be conceived and organized with the definite purpose of integration. When it was formed in 1965, the congregation adopted the motto: "A church for all people". The church quickly swelled, boasting some 300 worshipers at its peak. Over time, what began as a multicolored mix—including a few Hispanics—remained largely integrated and harmonious, despite the McDuffie race riots and continued white flight—at least until nearly all white members had died or moved away by the 1990s. “It was fully interracial—in the choir and in the organization”, said the Rev. Dr. "Mike" Irvin Elligan, the church’s pastor from 1970 to 1985. “There were white people who were invited to black homes for dinner and vice versa.” Elligan, an African American, had as his associate pastor, the Rev. Dr. Y. Jacqueline Rhoades, a white woman born in France. The church was truly a multi-cultural congregation. New Covenant established the Elizabeth E. Curtis Day Care Center to serve the children of the surrounding community for many years. From 1987 to 1991, Rev. Ronald E. Peters served as pastor and during this time, the church established the Kuumba Project, a summer cultural enrichment program for neighborhood youth, ages 9 through 17 years. The congregation's social justice ministry attracted many young families throughout the city. In 1991, Dr. Peters resigned as pastor when he joined the faculty of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. In the 1990s the membership declined, becoming nearly all black, with one white member and a few Hispanics. Attendance had fallen to less than 40 on any given Sunday. In 1999, the pastor of the congregation retired, following a time of intense conflict. The Rev. Dr. Maynard Pittendreigh chaired an Administrative Commission composed of other pastors and elders to guide the church through a turbulent time. The congregation is once more growing, although it remains a smaller membership church. The Reverend Connie Bright serves as the church's pastor.

Miami Stadium, later officially known as Bobby Maduro Miami Stadium, was a baseball stadium in Miami, Florida. It was primarily used as the home field of the Miami Marlins minor league baseball team, as well as other minor league teams. It opened in 1949 and held 13,500 people. The stadium was located on the block bounded by Northwest 23rd Street (south – first base), Northwest 10th Avenue (west – third base), and Northwest 8th Avenue (east – right field), with an open area behind left field extending about a block north. A distinguishing feature of the ballpark was a high arched cantilever-type roof over the grandstand, in contrast to the typical styles of either flat and slightly sloping, or peaked like a house. This design enabled the ballpark to have a roof that covered most of the seating area without any posts blocking the spectators' view. Al López Field in Tampa employed a somewhat similar design with a less dramatic curve and less coverage. It was the spring training home of the Brooklyn / Los Angeles Dodgers from 1950 to 1958 (for most of their "A" games). The Dodgers played their first game as the Los Angeles Dodgers at the ballpark when they opened their 1958 spring training schedule against the Phillies on March 8, 1958, in front of 5,966 fans. It was used during the spring by the Baltimore Orioles from 1959 to 1990. At the time of its construction, Miami Stadium was remarkably modern and well-appointed, although in time it would be surpassed by later designs. On June 6, 1958, Orioles president James Keelty Jr. reached agreement with Miami Marlins president George B. Storer to move the Orioles spring training home from Scottsdale, Arizona to Miami Stadium for the 1959 spring training season. On May 25, 1990, the Orioles announced that the team would move their spring training home games from Miami Stadium to Bradenton and Sarasota in 1991. The Orioles had trained at Twin Lakes Park in Sarasota prior to spring games in 1989 and 1990.The Miami City Commission voted unanimously in favor of the renaming in February 1987, and the ceremony took place the following month. The ballpark became known officially as Bobby Maduro Miami Stadium in honor to the famous Cuban baseball entrepreneur Bobby Maduro. Said Maduro's widow Marta to herself, "Gordo (fat one), they finally know who you are." The City of Miami had proposed razing the stadium and selling the property for warehouses. But a sale price of $1.6 million plus demolition cost of $725,000, scared away would-be developers. The City rezoned the property in 1998 for housing. St. Martin Affordable Housing Inc. purchased the 12.6-acre (51,000 m2) property from the City of Miami for $2.1 million in 1999 to raze the stadium and build a rental housing project. A large apartment complex (called The Miami Stadium Apartments) now stands where the stadium was. Estadio Quisqueya, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (inaugurated in 1955), is an almost exact replica of the stadium.A PBS documentary, White Elephant: What Is There To Save?, was produced in 2007 about the stadium's history.In 2017, Abel Sanchez, a Miami native, created a GoFundMe page which raised $2,500 to get a historical marker for the site. The Florida Department of State's State Historical Marker Council reviewed and ultimately approved the application.
