In 1954, photographer Berenice Abbott journeyed along the length of U.S. Route 1, capturing the road, its towns, and inhabitants. From Florida motels made from buses to Maine potato farmers, Abbott memorialized communities up and down the East Coast.

During the trip, Abbott shot more than four hundred 8x10-inch photographs, and over two thousand smaller images using her Rolleiflex camera, representing her largest portfolio of photographs devoted to a single subject.

North and South will bring together a selection of 50 works from this series to present a singular visual summary of American life during the mid-1950s. Click here for more information >

Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU
Hot Couture: Florida Jews on the Fashion Scene
On View Now

Floridian Jews have been involved in all aspects of the fashion industry, designing, manufacturing, dressing and influencing the local and international scene in all types of clothing from beachwear to ball gowns.

From the now- 96 year-old designer Sylvia Whyte, whose children's clothing brought the likes of Debbie Reynolds, Frank Sinatra and Zsa Zsa Gabor flocking to her Miami Beach store in the 1950s, to an 11 year-old entrepreneur now embarking on her first clothing line incorporating her grandfather's artwork into her designs, Floridian Jews have created a large footprint on this industry.

With iconic brands like Perry Ellis and Chico's; climate-influenced guayaberas, golf shirts and Florida furriers; funky wearable art and bikinis and belts made out of local snakeskins, this exhibit will surprise and inspire you

Un estafador de alivio de deudas te pedirá que pagues primero

Si te sientes sofocado por tus facturas mensuales, una llamada de alguien que te diga que pueden reducir o eliminar tus deudas podría parecerte la respuesta a tus problemas. Pero en muchos casos, la gente que hace estas llamadas es inescrupulosa. No tienen ninguna intención de ayudarte, pero están muy interesados en tomar tu dinero. ¿Cómo puedes saber si estás tratando con un estafador de alivio de deudas? Porque te pide que le pagues antes de hacer nada por ti.
Eso es lo que la FTC y la Fiscal General de Florida dicen que sucedió con una estafa masiva de alivio de deudas que lograron frenar el mes pasado. Los demandados le dijeron a la gente que iban a pagar, liquidar o eliminar sus deudas. Pero no lo hicieron. En su lugar, solo se quedaron con el dinero de la gente. Con el transcurso del tiempo, la gente descubrió que no habían pagado sus deudas, que sus cuentas estaban en mora por incumplimiento de pago y que sus puntajes de crédito habían sufrido un grave daño. Incluso algunas personas fueron demandadas por sus acreedores, o se vieron forzadas a declararse en bancarrota.
Lamentablemente, los estafadores tratan de aprovecharse de la gente que está lidiando con sus deudas – pero hay ayuda legítima disponible. Puedes hablar directamente con tus acreedores para negociar un plan de repago. También puedes buscar un servicio de asesoramiento crediticio. Para encontrar ayuda de buena reputación, comienza buscando en una cooperativa de crédito, universidad local, base militar o el Servicio de Extensión Cooperativa de EE.UU. Y si te decides por un servicio de alivio de deudas, ten presente lo siguiente:
  • Una compañía de alivio de deudas legítima no te exigirá que le pagues por adelantado. Eso es ilegal.
  • Nadie te puede garantizar que tus acreedores te vayan a condonar tus deudas.
     
Tu reporte puede ayudar a frenar una estafa de alivio de deudas. Si detectas una de estas estafas, cuéntaselo a la FTC.
