    • History ErasedSome history doesn’t survive on purpose. This category documents the stories, places, and communities that have been removed from the official record, by policy, by politics, by neglect, or by design. Where original photographs, documents, and archives have been destroyed, suppressed, or made inaccessible, Properly South Florida uses AI-generated illustrations to reconstruct what was lost and make the record visible again. Every AI-generated image in this category is labeled as such. The absence of documentation is part of the story.
