CENTER FOR ETHICS AND PUBLIC SERVICE Historic Black Church Project Housed at the University of Miami School of Law, the Historic Black Church Project is part of the Center for Ethics and Public Service’s ongoing nine-year effort to help Miami’s distressed West Grove community. The Project is spearheaded by the Center’s Community Economic Development and Design Clinic, a joint venture collaboration with the University’s School of Architecture and Florida Legal Services. The purpose of the Project is to provide multi-disciplinary resources in education, law, and social services to under-served West Grove residents by establishing congregation-based church partnerships through the West Grove’s sixteen-church Ministerial Alliance. The Project entails five interrelated initiatives. The first initiative involves rights education seminars. Conducted by Law School clinical faculty and students, the church-based education seminars address a wide range of topics affecting West Grove residents, including children’s health, education, elder law, tenants’ rights, homeowner protection, and crime prevention. When possible, the seminars are presented in conjunction with University, for-profit, nonprofit, and government partners. The Project’s second initiative involves capacity building workshops. Likewise conducted by Law School clinical faculty and students, these church-based workshops focus on economic development, financial literacy, and nonprofit governance for individuals, groups, and organizations. Again, when possible, the workshops are presented in conjunction with University, for-profit, nonprofit, and government partners. Center Advisory Board member Louis Chiavacci of Merrill Lynch helped launch the financial literacy workshops in spring 2008. The Project’s third initiative involves referrals for legal assistance. The Project offers legal assistance referrals in cooperation with the Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. Bar Association and the Law School’s Children and Youth Law Clinic, Bankruptcy Clinic, and Health and Elder Law Clinic in the fields of foster care, bankruptcy, health, and elder law. Staffed by Law School clinical faculty and students, the Clinics provide direct service and law reform representation to indigent clients in Miami-Dade County. The Project also will offer legal assistance referrals in cooperation with Florida Legal Services and volunteer lawyers from law firms in Miami-Dade County. The Project’s fourth initiative involves the creation of an oral history church archive. The Project works to develop an oral history archive to be housed at each church through a studentfaculty partnership with Ransom Everglades High School. The oral histories of interested members of each congregation and ministry will be conducted by Ransom Everglades High School students and undergraduate students from the College of Arts and Sciences, and videotaped by graduate students from the School of Law and elsewhere across the University. Students from the College of Arts and Sciences and Ransom Everglades will also participate in multi-media projects (drawing, painting, and photography) documenting the churches and their congregations. Both church- and school-based receptions will be held at the conclusion of each semester. The Project’s fifth initiative involves the establishment of a national consortium on campus-church-and-community collaboration. The Project will link colleges and universities to new community-based campus-church collaborations through conferences and publications addressing faith-inspired civic engagement and service-learning in higher education. 30 Honor Roll of Donors 2008-2009 Senior United States District Judge William Hoeveler with Judge Donald Graham at the March 2009 ceremony honoring Judge Graham with the Hoeveler award.
