| Summary: | Community activist Enid C. Pinkney worked to ensure that the role of African Americans in Miami's history is acknowledged and preserved. Born in 1931 in Miami-Dade County, she received her B.A. from Talladega College in 1953 and an M.S. from Barry University in 1967. Pinkney worked in the Dade County Public School System for thirty-six years, when she retired as assistant principal at South Miami Middle School in 1991. She joined the Dade Heritage Trust historic preservation organization in the mid-1980s. She was elected the first black president of the Trust in 1998. Pinkney, the founder of the African American Committee, focused on the contributions of blacks to the community. She successfully led numerous committees to save landmark historical sites. She was an unofficial historian of Brown Sub, or Brownsville, her North Central Dade neighborhood. Pinkney's husband, Frank Pinkney, was also involved with the Trust.
