Help us caption and translate this video on Amara.org: http://www.amara.org/en/v/B7OZ/ Parallel Lives is an Original Production of WPBT2. The 30 minute documentary is narrated by Julia Yarbough. It is the story of two women Dr. Dorothy Jenkins Fields and Arva Moore Parks who both grew up in a segregated Miami. Though separated by only a few miles, their upbringings could not have been more different. Their lives nearly touched on many occasions yet each was unaware of the other. In their journey to discover the past, it was history that finally brought them together. In May of 1980 Liberty City was on fire. In the flames of a once segregated community, two unlikely friends forged an enduring relationship. Fields and Parks share their lifetime experiences in Miami since the 1940s, a time when segregation laws divided the races into separate communities. It is a first hand account of Miami's social evolution and a story of a lasting friendship. Online Screening on September 22nd @ 7:30pm. Broadcast Premiere on September 28th @ 7:30pm RSVP for the Online Screening here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/event.php?eid=158185997530234&ref=mf http://www.wpbt2.org/lives
