Located near Miami, Parrot Jungle moved to a new location in 2003 and is now called Jungle Island.
In the Miami area the family probably stayed with Newlin's brother Lytton and his wife Opal, who lived in Coral Gables. Lytton was superintendent of Dade County schools during the period of integration in Florida. Dade County was already integrated when they planned to send their teachers for summer courses at Florida State University, which was not racially integrated at the time. When Lytton told them they would look elsewhere to accommodate their diverse teaching staff for training if they could not accommodate all the staff, FSU feared the loss of a large influx of money and quickly capitulated agreeing to allow Whites and "Coloreds" alike (using the parlance of the era).
