Seventeen Magazine

She wanted a life that escaped Jim Crow and its laws. Life in Overtown, originally called Colored Town during the Jim Crow era, was nothing but oppression and depression. A time when civil rights became the overwhelming domestic issue of 1963.

One night, Wyetta went to the Harlem Square club in downtown Miami, a small nightspot that harbored singers from across the world. There she met industry mogul, Jaydex Theodore, who accompanied Sam Cooke that would perform that night. Jaydex was known among those in the music industry to secure links and deals for black musicians, that were blocked by racist men in power.

What Wyetta Lee thought would be a fun night would soon be her true life story.
