INSPIRING FLORIDIAN: D.A. Dorsey, Miami’s first Black millionaire. A son of former slaves, he had only a fourth-grade education, but he went from being a carpenter to buying one piece of land at a time until he eventually amassed a real estate fortune. ... Dedicated to giving back, he donated the land for Miami’s first Black high school, now home to DA Dorsey Technical College.
