The fumes from the Agripost landfill near the Skyway Elementary School were so bad that the children couldn\u2019t go outside for gym class and their desks were covered in mold. Then-principal Frederica Wilson organized a student letter writing campaign to the county commissioners, asking them to close the plant.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was 1990 and she held firm. After outcry from the students, parents and community leaders, the commission voted to close the landfill.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The valiant effort was the impetus to a viable political career and is but one in a long line of accomplishments from the esteemed congresswoman, whose political career is now coming to a close.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On Friday, it culminated with a street renaming ceremony just outside the same elementary school that now bears her name where she announced she would be retiring from politics, and opening the door to new leadership from the predominantly Black district, which has long been a Democratic hold.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cEven leather wears,\u201d she said to a crowd of at least 100 people outside the construction site of the new Dr. Frederica Wilson\/Skyway Elementary School in Miami Gardens. She called the event a bookend for her career, capping more than 30 years in politics that included forming one of the foremost nonprofits for young Black and brown men, creating a council for on the social status of Black men and boys, helping imprisoned Haitian refugees, and has touted delivering $3.1 billion in funds to her district, including for transportation and health-related projects.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But even with a bevy of accolades, Wilson said her work is not done. She will focus on expanding her cornerstone nonprofit 5000 Role Models across the United States and squeeze in time for her memoir.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been trying to leave for a while,\u201d she told the Herald ahead of her street renaming ceremony. \u201cIf it was just me, Frederica Wilson, I probably would have been gone, but I carry so much. My district means so much, and it\u2019s a historic district.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Miami Gardens Councilman Reggie Leon, who sponsored Wilson\u2019s street renaming ceremony, said her decision to leave is a reflection of her leadership.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t a person waiting until they\u2019re sick or waiting until there\u2019s no hope,\u201d he said. \u201cShe is passing the baton in her right mind, knowing what she\u2019s accomplished, knowing what she still has on the table, but also making sure that the mentorship program that she started [continues to succeed]. She\u2019s being a prime example.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Early beginnings<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Before she threw her hat in the ring for politics, Wilson was an educator first in Dade County Schools where she initially began working at an Earlington Heights Elementary School, then a predominantly white school in Liberty City. She lasted one day after the white principal threatened to fire her for asking too many questions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI went home and told my daddy. He called the superintendent, and he said, \u2018Frederica Wilson will not be reporting to Earlington Heights tomorrow. So you have to find another school,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She\u2019d go on to work at Lillie C. Evans Elementary, where she worked under her former principal at Liberty City Elementary and alongside some of her former teachers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The political fire in her belly grew during her time as principal of Skyway Elementary School in what is now Miami Gardens, where she was thrust into the spotlight after she and her students took on Agripost. Wilson said her battle against the landfill \u201cgave me the confidence that I could change things.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cMy daddy was a civil rights activist, and so I watched him change things, so I always wanted to change things for the better for people,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Miami-Dade County School Board Member Steve Gallon said he\u2019s seen Wilson\u2019s fervent spirit in how she chose to lead as a principal. \u201cShe provided an example of a principal who steps outside of the status quo, who challenges the status quo, who leads with a degree of fearlessness, and puts their career and their reputations on the line for children, and that\u2019s something that I\u2019ve always appreciated and respected,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wilson won her school board seat in a runoff election, and at the time, she was the only Black person on the school board. She developed and launched what was then called 500 Role Models, a program that would partner young Black male students with established Black men in the community with the hopes it would steer them away from drugs and violent crime and on the path toward education.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It has since ballooned into the 5000 Role Models and services children in Broward and Miami-Dade as well as affiliate chapters in Los Angeles, Detroit and the Bahamas. In many regards the nonprofit is her heartbeat, producing more than 7,000 mentees, including Florida state Sen. Shevrin Jones, who was one of the first graduates of the program and attended Skyway when Wilson was principal. He described her as no-nonsense, but approachable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was serious, not just about children, but she was serious about us learning,\u201d said Jones, who is expected to campaign for her seat. \u201cShe had a rapport with the community, and she had a rapport with the parents, but she loved her boys, and I was one.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A champion for criminal justice, black education<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

In many respects, Wilson was ahead of her time: She helped pass legislation ensuring Black history was effectively taught in Miami-Dade County during her time on the school board and expanded that statewide when she was a part of the state Legislature.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In recent years the Legislature has limited how Black history can be taught in schools. But Wilson had the foresight to pass on the task of ensuring it would be taught effectively, and passed the task onto another Black Florida senator when she left office.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, I need you to preserve this, I need you to work with everybody, this has to work,\u201d she said, adding there was a task force and an advocate in every school at the time. \u201cThey didn\u2019t do nothing. When I say I\u2019m carrying this on my back, there\u2019s Role Models and everything else that I\u2019m carrying, because people don\u2019t transition well.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Other accomplishments of Wilson\u2019s include the creation of the Florida Council on the Social Status of Black Men and Boys and prison reform that allows incarcerated mothers to be closer to their children.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When Wilson reflects on her own legacy, names sit with her such as Rilya Wilson, the 4-year-old girl who went missing while in foster care and whose absence wasn\u2019t noticed due to case worker neglect. \u201cYou\u2019re not getting ready to hide this, because somebody\u2019s going to jail,\u201d Wilson said she told the state attorney at the time. Wilson would later introduce and help pass the Rilya Wilson Act when she was a state representative.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another name is La David T. Johnson, a 5000 Role Models alum and soldier killed in Niger in 2017. Wilson went toe-to-toe with President Donald Trump about his comments to Johnson\u2019s widow.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Martin Lee Anderson is another person seared in her memory. Anderson collapsed and died while being forced to complete a run during his first day at a boot-camp style detention center in 2006. Wilson worked to close the boot camp and others like it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThey said he died from sickle cell, and I made them exhume his body,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Her work has been touted nationally, but behind those accomplishments are sacrifices no one sees, said her son Paul Wilson. He recalled a time when he had to escort a young lady who was debutant and his mother was supposed to pick up his tux, but forgot. \u201cThere were times where she was supposed to be at events to support me or support my sisters and there was another event that she needed to be at, but we understood because we understood the mission,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And then there was the misogyny he witnessed his mother receive during her time as an elected official and the death threats aimed at her and her family when she fought against the landfill.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are the things that people don\u2019t understand,\u201d he said as tears streamed down his face. \u201cWhen I say it\u2019s personal for me, this isn\u2019t politics for me. This isn\u2019t just some lady that was voted in, and now we\u2019re gonna move on to the next person. This is my mother.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2018Somebody who\u2019s not scared\u2019<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Paul Wilson, also an educator, is again following in his mothers footsteps and is running for office, seeking a seat on the Miami Gardens City Council \u2013 and emphasized he has no plans to run for his mom\u2019s seat. Still she imparted this bit of wisdom on him: \u201cKeep the people front and center. Don\u2019t worry about anything else. Don\u2019t worry about being liked. Keep the people and what the people need front and center.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s that mindset that\u2019s won her over with constituents, along with her strict sense of accountability for those in the Black community. \u201cThere was a time where communities and families and neighbors, everybody leaned into the raising of children, and she kind of brought that same spirit\u2026during her time on the school board.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And then, there are the moments where she\u2019s mothering those in the community. \u201cI lost my mom seven years ago, and even on holidays, she\u2019s making sure that I\u2019m OK, asking if I want to come to dinner, and things like that,\u201d Leon said. \u201cShe just has a real mother spirit about her, and she does that with all the kids that are in her program.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The congresswoman has been described as relentless in her work and uncompromising in her values, but also ingrained in mentoring youth. Jones said he\u2019s made lifelong friends through 5000 Role Models and has created a ripple effect in mentorship in Black and brown communities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we look at some of our Black leaders now, who are in my age bracket you see many of them who are involved in the community, that\u2019s because of people of the likes of Frederica Wilson and Carrie Meeks, and so many others.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For Gallon, Wilson\u2019s accessibility has been one of her more powerful attributes. Gallon said last week Wilson called him to gain more insight into Schools of Hope framework. \u201cShe is always in tune, and she is able to go directly to us, and we likewise are able to go directly to her around particular issues,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wilson said whoever fills her shoes will need to be a fighter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI want somebody who\u2019s not scared. I want somebody who is not dependent on lobbyists to give them campaign money,\u201d she said. \u201cI want somebody who is accountable to the people and who has a heart and can feel the needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
