Vintage Pins

By Tere Estorino .... [llAfter stops at the Smithsonian Institution, William J. Clinton Presidential Center, Indianapolis Museum of Art, and Museum of Arts and Design in New York City, "Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection" makes its way to the Freedom Tower at Miami Dade College (MDC) for an exhibition running from Thursday, Feb. 24 to Saturday, Apr. 30. Former Secretary of State Albright will be the guest of honor at a private opening reception on Wednesday, Feb. 23, at 6 p.m. Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection features more than 200 of her famous brooches from her personal collection, many of which Secretary Albright wore to communicate a diplomatic message during her tenure. Exhibition hours are Tuesday through Friday, noon to 5 p.m. and Saturdays, noon to 4 p.m. During Secretary Albright's distinguished diplomatic career, lapel pins became her trademark fashion statement. The collection she cultivated has been described as "distinctive and democratic" and, often times, "demure and outspoken." In 1997, Albright was named the first female Secretary of State and became, at that time, the highest-ranking woman in the history of the U.S. government. While serving under President Bill Clinton, first as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and then as Secretary of State, Albright became known for wearing brooches that purposefully conveyed her views about the situation at hand. A highlight of the exhibition will be the brooch that initiated her unusual use of pins as a tool in her diplomatic arsenal. After Saddam Hussein's press referred to her as an "unparalleled serpent," Albright wore a golden snake brooch pinned to her suit for her next meeting on Iraq. From then on, she picked up pins, mostly costume jewelry, at flea markets and antique shops or as gifts from friends, which she would use to express her opinions and moods. One of the strongest messages she sent through her pins struck closer to home in South Florida. In 1996, airplanes carrying four Cuban-American fliers were shot down by Cuban fighter pilots over international waters. At a UN press conference afterwards, Albright wore her "Blue Bird" pin with its head pointing down in mourning for the free-spirited fliers. Secretary Albright currently is chair of Albright Stonebridge Group and Albright Capital Management LLC, and serves as a professor in the Practice of Diplomacy at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service. Her visit to MDC will begin with a presentation to the college's acclaimed Miami Leadership Roundtable on current global issues on Feb. 22 . Exhibition hours are Tuesday through Friday, noon to 5 p.m., and Saturdays, noon to 4 p.m. Freedom Tower at Miami Dade College is located at 600 Biscayne Blvd.

Madeleine Albright's "Read My Pins" on Exhibit at Freedom Tower fly Goyanes .'

Albright can get sassy with her pins.

A beautiful brooch is a great conversation piece. Perhaps that is why Madeleine Albright, the first female Secretary of State of the United States, collected hundreds of them throughout her life. During Middle East peace talks, nothing serves as a better icebreaker than a gold serpent resting on your lapel. Miami Dade College brings her collection, "Read My Pins," to the Freedom Tower. You can see pins she wore during discussions integral to our country's peace, but some of these pins also stand on their own. For example, a blue bird pin created by Austrian jewelry designer Anton Lachmann circa 1880 is symbolic and also quite stunning. See it after the jump.

Check out the blue bird .

Just as intriguing as the pins themselves, is the story behind why she first started wearing them. After Albright criticized Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi press dubbed her a "serpent." She decided to thumb her nose at such nonsense by wearing a brooch of a snake wrapped around a golden branch evelY time she engaged in Iraqi situations. People noticed and she began to wear symbolic pins to diplomatic meetings and press conferences. She continued to use pins to parlay a message and in 1996 it was a message that resonated with many Miamians. After the failed Brothers to the Rescue mission when a group of Cuban exile pilots were shot down and killed by the Cuban military over international waters, Albright wore her "blue bird" pin with its head pointing down in mourning in a show of solidarity and support. Watch Albright discuss how this all got started: "Read My Pins" runs tomorrow until Saturday, April 30 to the Freedom Tower (600 Biscayne Blvd., Miami). Exhibition hours are Tuesday through Friday, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays, p.m. to 4 p.m. Contact MDC's Art Gallery System at 305-237-7700 or at [email protected].

Miami Dade College gives iconic tower a facelift Renovations to downtown's Freedom Tower are bringing it up to the standards required of a National Historic Landmark and preparing it for its new role as a cultural and educational center. The 255-foot tower's cupola and weathervane, which recent hurricanes had bent, were reinforced and reinstalled last year, said Juan Mendieta, a spokesperson for Miami Dade College, the tower's present owner. In 2009, a 40-foot mural depicting an encounter between Juan Ponce de Leon and a Tequesta Indian chief superimposed on a map of the New World was also restored. "Now renovations have moved to the weatherization phase," Mr. Mendieta said. "They've replaced most windows with code-compliant hurricane windows and are also working on the fac;:ade - patching up holes and preventing water damage." The repairs, which will come to about half a million dollars, are funded by the Department of the Interior, the federal agency that designated tower a National Historic Landmark in October 2008, he said. They're slated for completion in Mayor June, just before hurricane season. The tower, at 600 Biscayne Blvd., was completed in 1925 and first served as home of the Miami News. The paper eventually moved to a new building, and the tower stood empty a few years until it took on a pivotal new role in Miami's history. "After the new Lyndon Johnson administration negotiated with Castro, what the Americans called the "Freedom Flights' began in December1965," historian Arva Moore Parks wrote in "Miami: The Magic City." "They consisted of two flights a day, sponsored by the US government. Before they ended in 1973, the 3,048 flights brought more than 150,000 Cubans. "The often traumatized newcomers lined up at the old Miami News Tower, renamed The Freedom Tower, to be processed." For the next few decades, the property passed through several owners. In the late 1990s, Jorge Mas Canosa, founder of the Cuban American National Foundation, bought it and made it a memorial to the Cuban exodus. Pedro Martin's Terra Group donated it in 2008 to Miami Dade College, whose Wolfson Campus abuts the property. "We are very proud to serve as stewards of Miami's landmark building," Mr. Mendieta said. "We are currently using it for major art exhibitions and major events. The college's 50th anniversary gala was held there. It has a large and magnificent gallery space, where we have exhibited works by artists such as Goya, Dali and DaVinci." At the end of this month, he said, Madeleine Albright, President Clinton's secretary of state during his second term, will bring an exhibition of her famous collection of pins, called "Read My Pins," to Freedom Tower, where it will be on public view from Feb. 24-April 30. "Moving forward," Mr. Mendieta said, "plans are to offer more educational events on the tower's history, both in honor of the free press and also in honor of immigration."

GrantisjirsiBlack to winAXA honor '

,~.

- . ,_.,' .

By D. Kevin McNeir [email protected] Gerald Grant, Jr., 54, is proof of how hard work and commitment to the community can bring rewards far greater than one can imagine. . Grant, the author of Bold Moves to Creating Financial Wealth, and a highly­

respected financial planner in Miami-Dade County, was recently named the winner ofAXA Advisors, LLC (Miami), the company for whom he works as branch director of

financial planning, National Honor Associate Award for 2011. He is the first Blackto

win the prestigious award.

Born in J".maica , Grant's family moved to Miami when he was nine-years-old both

because of his mother's health and to take advantage of greater opportunities in .

South Florida. He graduated from Miami Edison Senior High School in 1973 and continued his education at Miami Dade College and Florida International University · (FlU), eventually earning his MBA. ­ Grant, a member of 100 Black Men of South Florida, Phil Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. and a board member for FlU and Florida A&M University (FAMU), uses his ' banking and investing knowledge and experience to help clients in 11 states focus on estate planning, wealth accumulation/protection, life insurance and retirement planning. He has been active in the community for more than 40 years. And due to the no-nonsense approach he takes in hi's informative book and because·of his reputation as one of the nation's top financial planners, he was recently asked to teach a course this fall based on his text at Miami-Dade College's Wolfson Campus. . . ' . The AXA a,qard, established almost 70 years ago, is given toa "total professional~ selected from among thousands of candidates, that most exemplifies the qualities':o~ community service, loyalty and leadership. . ­ "I have always been corwnitted to getting the job done but more than anything, r really care about my community," Grant said.

That's why 1 serve on their board - so 1 can give as many stude'n ts the same 'chance at. a quality education that 1 received. The key to my success was educa Grant says that he was led to write his book because he saw. the need to educate>. people on how to manage their' finances. "There are a lot of books one could read but I wanted to teach people how to manage and accumulate money," he said. "Many Blacks don't understand how to increase the amount of money they have." . He says that one of the biggest errors that people make is failing to pay themselves-. first. ' "You have to pay yourself before you pay others and make sure you have money aside and ready for those times that opportunities arise," he said. "That's ho'v., one ' builds wealth."
