TRIBUTES have been paid to a South Florida historian descended from Bahamian parents after death at the age of 92. 

Dr Enid Pinkney was born in Miami to Bahamian parents and worked throughout her life to ensure the role of African Americans in the history of Miami was acknowledged - including standing in front of bulldozers to protect Hampton House, where Dr Martin Luther King practised his speeches and where Malcolm X came to relax. Hampton House is the only motel still existing in Miami from the days of segregation. 

CBS News reports there is discussion of renaming a room at Hampton House after her.
