RACISM IN PLACES OF PLAY: THE BEACH. The beach usu

RACISM IN PLACES OF PLAY: THE BEACH. The beach usually stirs thoughts of sand castles, sunshine and splashing in the waves. But many places of play have a racist past including the beach. In the 1920's Manhattan Beach was an up and coming area for black people but that wouldn't last long due to racism. Think of the prosperous black community it could be today. We have to know our history to understand where we have gone wrong as a society so we can make it right together. ❤ Source: Fighting for Leisure: African Americans, Beaches, and Civil Rights in Early 20th Century L.A. by Ryan Reft
