Today's Miami Herald coverage of the review of the MegaPlan for Miami and Miami-Dade County focuses on the Orange Bowl and plans for baseball to revitalize Little Havana. Mayor Manny Diaz's ambitious plan requires continuous financial support from either citizens and/or visitors to the area. With the downward spiral of the economy, it's doubtful that needed support is probable.

In the meantime, what happens to any meaningful, sustained, probable development of a cultural and economic foundation is planned for Liberty City, Perrine, Opa-Locka and other predominantly black communities?

If blacks continue to sit back and allow Miami to grow around them…oh, well. There's an old saying that 'every tub sits on its own bottom'. Do for yourself and don't expect others to do for you.
