WPLG-Miami, Momma Lives on Miami Beach, 1974/04/24 This WPLG-Miami, program from March 24, 1974, opens by bringing to light the dual nature of Miami Beach: the stereotypically posh, overpriced haven where youth, beauty, and wealth are esteemed; and the less emphasized ghetto in the sun that is home to the dumpster-perusing poor, to the old, and the struggling. The narrator attests that a great strength of South Beach is the tenacity and self knowledge of the neglected elderly, and the program focuses namely on the struggles and triumphs of this downtrodden group.
