Fascinating post. Thanks for sharing it.

I'm a late-comer to your correspondence and was wondering if you have spent any time digging into the history of the Black beaches in North Carolina. The Young Scholars are studying the 1950s and will be making an extended field trip to explore the history of Seabreeze and Freemans beaches and I'm gathering resources now.

I did some more digging and found out that one of the best NC historians I know, David Cecelski, has done some research and writing on this. Hopefully he will be able to meet with the Scholars before our research trip. If you are interested, you are welcome to join us, too.
