Comcast, the parent company of NBCUniversal, would be the internet provider, but the program is made possible by a $5 million donation given to the Miami Foundation. Achieve Miami is the organization that is charged with carrying the initiative to fruition. Starting this month, the project called “Miami Connected” will equip families in digital deserts like Overtown, Little Haiti, Liberty City and Homestead with broadband internet service. Kevin Lawrence, Booker T. Washington High School's principal, is elated. “With all the challenges that our students face, something as simple as what we take for granted ... we could walk home and we have Wi-Fi access so we could get on the internet. A large portion of my students don’t have that,” Lawrence said.
