Milwaukee Urban League celebrates 34th Black and White Ball and 100th Anniversary
On Saturday, June 6, 2019, The Milwaukee Urban League hosted its 34th Annual Black & White Ball at The Wisconsin Center, 400 W. Wisconsin Ave. This year's theme, "100 Years Empowering Communities, Changing Lives," marked the 100th anniversary of the MUL. Started in 1985, the Black & White Ball's goal is to promote diversity and celebrate the "coming together" of the community to enact change. The event also serves as the MUL's key fundraiser, so that they may continue with their many vital community based programs and initiatives. Pictured at the event are National Urban League President and CEO Marc Morial; County Executive Chris Abele; MUL Board Chair Jocelyn Johnson; WEC Energy Group Executive Chairman and Black and White Ball co-chair Gale E. Klappa; Community volunteer and Black and White Ball cochair Jackie Herd-Barber; and MUL President and CEO Dr. Eve M. Hall.

The team honored the rich history of the Negro Leagues and its profound impact on the game of baseball as we know it today. As part of a special pre-game ceremony, the Brewers recognized John "Blue Moon" Odom (left) and James Rocky" Portier (right) who, along with Aurora St. Luke's Chief Medical Officer and 2019 Black Excellence Award honoree Dr. Nkem Iroegbu (center) threw out the first pitch. As part of the celebrations there was an autograph session, special exhibits showcasing the history of the Negro Leagues, the Brewers wearing the Milwaukee Bears uniforms during the game, a special question and answer session and ceremony at Holy Redeemer Institutional Church Of God In Christ, and a commemoration ceremony at Clinton Rose Park.
Mr. Perkins Family Restaurant celebrates 50 golden years On Friday, May 31, 2019, the Perkins family, along with close friends, family, community leaders, and many long-time customers celebrated the 50th golden anniversary of Milwaukee's premier soul food institution, Mr. Perkins Family Restaurant. Originally founded in 1969 by Hilda and Willie Perkins, Sr. at 1943 W. Atkinson Ave., the first location became much too small for the quickly growing eatery and a new location, 2001 W. Atkinson Ave., originally the location for gospel singer Mahalia Jackson's (inset) Glori-Fried Chicken, was purchased for the family to expand their business. Currently, the restaurant is run by Hilda and Willie's daughter-in-law Cherry Perkins, who took over ownership after the death of her husband and Hilda and Willie's son, Willie C. Perkins, Jr., in 2010. Even today the restaurant is renowned for its soul food menu, recently drawing in NBA legends Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Bark-
ley. Pictured at the event are (from left) daughter Janice Perkins; co-founder Willie Perkins, Sr.; Mayor Tom Barrett; co-founder Hilda Perkins; and current owner and daughter-in-law Cherry Perkins.

CHILD WATCH As the school year ends and families look ahead to summer plans, I hope many will be able to consider travel that is not just a vacation, but an education and inspiration. Several years ago I had the opportunity to take my granddaughters with me to Selma, Alabama, where they got to meet Mrs. Amelia Boynton Robinson and other civil rights s/heroes during celebrations commemorating the historic 1965 voting rights marches from Selma to Montgomery. Over age 100, Mrs. Boynton was still feisty and lucid in her wheelchair, and told her listeners in the audience: “Stop telling me you stand on my shoulders—get off my shoulders and start building the next roads to freedom.” What a powerful lesson for my granddaughters and all children to hear! That trip inspired me to return to the South with all four of my grandchildren and their parents to see some of the places that shaped me as a student and young lawyer and ultimately transformed our nation during the Civil Rights Movement. I wish every child and parent had the same chance to visit these sacred spaces so that the Civil

A summer to remember
Rights Movement would not be just an abstract chapter in their history books. A tour like this can help them see it instead as living, breathing, ongoing history and inspire them to do their part in the movement for freedom and justice today. I was especially grateful that my grandchildren were blessed to meet many precious and generous elders who took so much time with them and shared such joy in seeing and sharing with them. We began our tour in Atlanta and were blessed to start with a visit to Hank and Billye Aaron’s home, which I had kept as a surprise for the multigenerational group of baseball fanatics in my family. The adult men were as starry-eyed as the children and grabbed the base-
balls he signed for them with 12-year-old joy! This was also an immediate reminder how people from all walks of life have used their talents to break barriers in their own fields and redefine the definition of who our American heroes are. We then visited with several dear friends who had been my long haul colleagues in the fight for justice, including Andrew Young, John Lewis, and C.T. Vivian. Andy Young joined us for breakfast. We met John Lewis for lunch at Paschal’s Restaurant, bringing back memories of the old Paschal’s (with the best fried chicken ever) that was one of our two primary off-campus secret planning places for student sit-ins during my time at Spelman College. I later showed my
grandchildren City Hall where I was arrested during those student sit-ins, and we took a long walk around Spelman, Morehouse College, Clark Atlanta University and the historic Atlanta University Center Consortium. Finally we toured the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. homesite and Ebenezer Baptist Church, cornerstones of any civil rights history visit to Atlanta, and showed them the front of Dr. King’s very modest SCLC office. Our next stop was Montgomery where we went first to the Freedom Rides Museum, the former Greyhound bus station where Black and White Freedom Riders were arrested during the 1961 protests helping end racial segregation in public transportation. We then were blessed to attend a dinner with civil rights veterans hosted by wonderful Children’s Defense Fund board member Bryan Stevenson at the Equal Justice Initiative’s offices, where he explained how their work continues the civil rights legacy. All Americans must visit Montgomery today and experience EJI’s powerful Legacy Museum and National Memorial for Peace and Justice. Our sec-
Being Frank Everyone knows that Juneteenth Day is the celebration of the slaves being freed. Way back in 1865 the USA decided that it was okay for African slaves to be free people. Black people were free to be the whipping boy for the country whenever the USA needed someone to blame. Black people would eventually become African Americans, thereby adopting the American last name. In 2019 the Juneteenth Day celebrations are modern day minstrel shows and one of the biggest jokes on the planet. “I’s free boss!” many slaves proclaimed in 1865. Sadly many modern-day slaves are still screaming this, only in their sleep. When awake, the 2019 version of the African American is still in the slave status Black people were in in 1864. I know African Americans can vote or sit in the front of the bus, whoopee. African Americans are still the whipping boy/ girl for the USA. African Americans are still secondwww.milwaukeetimesnews.com

ond day in Montgomery we visited the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church and parsonage where 26-year-old pastor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. first gained national prominence while helping organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The children got a chance to stand at his old pulpit and pretend to preach. We then visited the Southern Poverty Law Center and its Maya Lin-designed Civil Rights Memorial displaying the names of many of our civil rights martyrs. Our family’s next stop was Tuskegee University, learning there about the legacies of Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver before continuing on to Mississippi. The children were able to meet James Meredith, who courageously integrated the University of Mississippi, as he spoke at a local church. We then went to Jackson, Mississippi, where we visited slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers’s home, now a national historic preservation site. We were blessed that his daughter Reena was in town and met us, and to the (Continued on pg. 9)

class citizens in the USA. Let me correct that…with the Latino community and others, African Americans are fourth-class citizens in the USA, they dropped two spots.
A free people do not need to showcase their freedom or get it okayed by those who oppressed them. African Americans are still looking to be accepted and have their existence approved by those who oppressed them. The African American is so blind that they stage spectacles that are supposed to showcase freedom and intelligence that only make the race look more pitiful. The average Juneteenth Day celebration will usually consist of drinking, eating, dancing and some form of violence. The latter will be showcased on the evening news and the other races will wonder if African Americans should have ever been freed.
who glorifies in his own degeneration. Take a look at the average African American on the streets. The descendants of kings and queens walk around looking like something out of a bad horror story. After a 30-year run, sagging pants are still considered a fashion statement. Weave and wigs have become commonplace in elementary schools for young girls. Listen to the music that the African American creates and wonder if there has ever been anything so foolish. What other race of people have a billion dollar industry that revolves around killing each After being freed for 154 other and pimping out the years, the African American females? Add the males to is a mind-wiped zombie the pimped-out section, too. The new trend is if African
American males aren’t killing each other they should be in bed with each other. Ditto for the African American female. The so-called successful African American is the biggest joke on the planet. People will say, “I saw a African American running a successful company on CBS,” or “There was an African American President.” This is the trick bag that hides the fact that the 2019 African American is worse off mentally than the slave in 1864 Alabama. The modern day African American can’t see they are slaves. The glitter of false titles and materialism has blinded them to the facts that show how African Americans are still chattel for the USA system and still have babies to keep the system running.
is the same mindset that the slave had on the plantation. The goal was to have as many 'Lil Suckas' for master as possible and he would take care of them. Since the children were master’s property he would supply the needs to bring up his new slaves. That is exactly what is taking place in 2019. The social programs are picking up where the plantation owner left off. If African Americans are so free why are they still having 'Lil Suckas?' This may sound harsh but it’s a Juneteenth Day piece.

She shared with us what life was like for her and her siblings as children growing up there and the rules of survival they were taught, including instructions when strange cars full of White people prowled the street in front of their house. They were instructed to run to the bathroom and get in the tub. Today Medgar’s bloodstains remain on the driveway where her father was assassinated as he stepped out of his car while his family waited for him inside.

sissippi, where my family heard the details described of the horrific murders of the three young civil rights workers James Chaney, Michael Schwerner, and Andrew Goodman. Our last Mississippi stop was in Oxford, where we heard about James Meredith’s historic admission to “Ole Miss” and walked around the campus. Finally we traveled to the last stop of our family tour: Memphis, Tennessee, and the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel, the site of Dr. King’s assassination. My grandchildren will never forget these experiences. I hope many families will be able to take a trip like this someday soon with their children, but it is also important for all of us, family and non-family, to help expose children to our history through historic sites in our states and communities and our own backyards that represent all of the large and small milestones in our country’s long and ongoing journey to live up to its promise.

June is “National Cataract Awareness Month.” Learn the facts about one of the most common sight-threatening conditions for African-American older adults.
Don’t let cataracts cloud your ability to see life to the fullest
By Cheryl L. Dejewski African Americans have nearly twice the risk of developing cataracts than Caucasians. This is due in part to the higher incidence of diabetes in the black population (which increases the risk of developing cataracts) and to lack of treatment. Fortunately, vision loss due to cataracts is curable with one of the most common and successful medical procedures in existence. Don’t let cataracts prevent you or a loved one from seeing life to the fullest. Educate yourself and take proper action by scheduling a comprehensive eye examination. 1. How does a cataract affect vision? “A cataract is the clouding of the natural lens located inside the eye behind the pupil,” says Brett Rhode, MD, a partner at Eye Care Specialists, a local ophthalmology practice recognized for providing advanced medical, surgical and laser treatment of nearly every eye condition. “This lens works like a camera lens—focusing light onto the retina at the back of the eye to form the images you see. As you age, protein in the lens can clump together and start to cloud. This is called a ‘cataract.’ As the clouding advances, it can blur or fog vision to the point of inhibiting day-today functioning. Depending on the type of cataract, the clouding may take years or just months to progress.” 2. What are the symptoms? “Losing your vision is not a fact of life as you grow older,” says ophthalmologist Mark Freedman, MD. He advises scheduling an eye exam if you notice: • Foggy, fuzzy, blurred or double vision • Sensitivity to light and glare • “Starbursts” around lights • Holding items closer to view • Needing brighter light to read • Fading or yellowing of colors • Difficulty judging stairs or

surgeon Michael Raciti, MD. “Most people are so pleased with seeing things brighter and clearer, that they can’t wait to have their other eye done,” adds optometrist David Scheidt, OD.

How do you get rid of a cataract? “There are no drugs, drops, glasses or exercises that can prevent or cure cataracts,” says eye surgeon Daniel Ferguson, MD. “The only effective treatment is to make an opening in the eye, surgically remove the cloudy lens (cataract), and replace it with a prescription lens implant that acts like an internal contact lens to restore focusing ability, side vision, and depth perception.” 4. When should you have surgery? Ophthalmologist Daniel Paskowitz, MD, PhD, explains, “It’s not necessary to wait to remove a cataract until it’s so ripe that almost all vision is blocked. In fact, if you wait too long, it can grow so dense that the operation becomes riskier and more difficult. I tell patients that if the cataract is preventing you from doing tasks, new glasses won’t improve clarity, and no other conditions exist which would negate the benefits of removal (like severe macular degeneration), then it’s time for surgery.” Studies have shown that prompt cataract removal actually reduces the risk of falls, injuries and car accidents and increases phys-
ical and emotional well-being and life span. 5. What happens during and after surgery? “Cataract surgery is typically performed at an outpatient facility using local anesthesia (often just drops to numb the eye) and a nostitch, self-sealing micro-incision to remove the cataract and insert the lens implant. The procedure itself usually takes only about 15-30 minutes. After surgery, patients go home and resume normal activities within hours. Their vision noticeably improves within days,” says eye

Hot tips for summer safety Summer in Milwaukee is the most awaited time of the year. Schools are no longer in session, there are music festivals, street food vendors, parades, bands, beach and water fun to keep things interesting. Beat the heat and make the most of this season with these safety tips from Hupy and Abraham: Motorcycles: Riding on a warm summer day is fun, but when the heat catches up with you, it can be crucial. Prevent potential heatstroke by wearing proper clothing when riding. Stay cool while riding in extreme heat by wearing jackets with ventilation, gloves with mesh backs, pants with enhanced fabrics, breathable helmets and layers to absorb perspiration. Keeping an open eye for motorcycles on the road is important for all drivers. Get a free Hupy and Abraham “WATCH FOR MO-
TORCYCLES” sticker at https://www.hupy.com/ reports/ to inform others on the road that they should be aware too. Bicycles: As a safe bicyclist, wear your helmet on every trip. Make sure your bicycle has
reflectors so other vehicles can see you riding. Remember to stay alert for cars and pedestrians. Drivers need to watch out for bicycles on the road. Get your free “WATCH FOR CYCLES” sticker at https://www.hupy.com/
reports/ to help spread this safety message. Pets: Extreme heat conditions can be harmful to humans, but equally harmful for pets too. Make sure your pet is properly hydrated. Pets should not be left in a parked car, have ample shade and limited exercise on hot days. Children: Make sure your child is supervised - at all times - near water. Provide children with certified life jackets. Children should take water breaks. Dehydration is a common summer symptom. It is recommended to drink half your body weight in ounces during the summer. By following these tips, Hupy and Abraham is confident that you and your family will have a fun and safe summer. The firm has been supporting the safety of the community for the past 50
years. In the unfortunate event that you or a loved one is injured while participating in a summer activity, please contact Hupy and Abraham. Call 800-800-5678 for a free, confidential, no-obligation consultation today.

Meet Ascension St. Joseph’s Hospital Registered Nurse Twyla James By Twyla James My name is Twyla James, MSN, RN, CNS and I have been working at Ascension St. Joseph’s Hospital for 32 years. My career allows me to provide for my family, while also giving back and treating people who may not return to the comfort of their own home. Attending Alverno College of Nursing program was an amazing opportunity for me to further my education and career while simultaneously working a full-time job. I was overjoyed when I heard that Ascension Columbia St. Mary’s and Alverno College’s JoAnn McGrath School of Nursing were exploring alliance opportunities. Due to this alliance my hope is that non-traditional students like myself will consider returning to further their education. Once finalized, this partnership would provide a north side presence for Alverno’s current south-side campus, opening the door for more flexible options for students to attend class. With the north side presence, I would love to see a more diverse graduating class and workforce. This is a great opportunity for traditional and non-traditional students who are committed to providing compassionate, personalized care to our community.
Twyla's parents Phil Elderson and Edna Corean Banks.
I attended the University of Wiscosnin-Oshkosh, but after my freshman year I returned to Milwaukee and enrolled in the nursing program at Milwaukee Area Technical College. In 1985, I was awarded an Associate Degree in Nursing.

ist track. I chose Alverno because they offered a weekend program for their non-traditional students. In spring 2015, my mother’s cancer returned. During this difficult time, I continued to work full-time and managed to graduate school while I assisted in the care of our mother. Unfortunately, our matriarch passed on Nov. 3, 2015. By the grace of God and the support of my family I was successful in completing my Master’s in Nursing, graduating as a Clinical Nurse Specialist on Dec. 15, 2018. Death, discrimination, divorce, debt, cancer and everyday life would make anyone want to give up on life completely. I’ve learned many lessons throughout my life and one that speaks true to my story in my latter years is that it’s never too late to attend college. B.B. King once said, "Education is the one thing that no one can take from you."

Aging in place: Growing old at home (part 2 of 2)
As we age, we and our loved ones are faced with challenges that can make the most simple of everyday tasks more difficult. But many long to stay in the homes that they have known all their lives. In this half of our two-part series we look at those concerned about staying in our homes as we age as well as where we can look for assistance to do so. Aging in place: Common concerns If staying in your home is important to you, you may still have concerns about safety, getting around, or other activities of daily life. Find suggestions below to help you think about some of these worries. • Getting around—at home and in town. Are you having trouble walking? Perhaps a walker would help. If you need more, think about getting an electric chair or scooter. These are sometimes covered by Medicare. Do you need someone to go with you to the doctor or shopping? Volunteer escort services may be available. If you are
no longer driving a car, find out if there are free or lowcost public transportation and taxis in your area. Maybe a relative, friend, or neighbor would take you along when they go on errands or do yours for you. To learn about resources in your community, contact Eldercare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 (toll-free) or https://eldercare.acl.gov. • Activities and friends. Are you bored staying at home? Your local senior center offers a variety of activities. You might see friends there and meet new people, too. Is it hard for you to leave your home? Maybe you would enjoy visits from someone. Volunteers are
sometimes available to stop by or call once a week. They can just keep you company, or you can talk about any problems you are having. Call your local Area Agency on Aging to see if they are available near you. • Safety. Are you worried about crime in your neighborhood, physical abuse, or losing money as a result of a scam? Talk to the staff at your local Area Agency on Aging. If you live alone, are you afraid of becoming sick with no one around to help? You might want to get an emergency alert system. You just push a special button that you wear, and emergency medical personnel are

called. There is typically a monthly fee for this service. • Housing. Would a few changes make your home easier and safer to live in? Think about things like a ramp at the front door, grab bars in the tub or shower, nonskid floors, more comfortable handles on doors or faucets, and better insulation. Sound expensive? You might be able to get help paying for these changes. Check with your local Area Agency on Aging, state housing finance agency, welfare department, community development groups, or the federal government. • Help during the day. Do you need care but live with someone who can't stay with you during the day? For example, maybe they work. Adult day care outside the home is sometimes available for older people who need help caring for themselves. The day care center can pick you up and bring you home. If your caretaker needs to get away overnight, there are places that provide temporary respite care. Where can I look for help staying at home? Here are some resources to start with: 1 .People you know. Family, friends, and neighbors are the biggest source of help for many older people. Talk with those close to you about the best way to get what you need. If you are physically able, think about trading services with a friend or neighbor. One could do the grocery shopping, and the other could cook dinner, for example. 2. Community and local government resources. Learn about the services in your community. Healthcare providers and social workers may have suggestions. The local Area Agency on Aging, local and state offices on aging or social services, and your tribal organization may have lists of services. If you
belong to a religious group, talk with the clergy, or check with its local office about any senior services they offer. 3. Geriatric care managers. These specially trained professionals can help find resources to make your daily life easier. They will work with you to form a longterm care plan and find the services you need. Geriatric care managers can be helpful when family members live far apart. Learn more about geriatric care managers. 4. Federal government sources. The federal government offers many resources for seniors. Longtermcare. gov, from the Administration for Community Living, is a good place to start. How much will it cost to get help at home? An important part of planning is thinking about how you are going to pay for the help you need. Some things you want may cost a lot. Others may be free. Some might be covered by Medicare or other health insurance. Some may not. Check with your insurance provider(s). It's possible that paying for a few services out of pocket could cost less than moving into an independent living, assisted living, or long-term care facility. And you will have your wish of still living on your own. Resources like Benefits. gov and BenefitsCheckUp® can help you find out about possible benefits you might qualify for. Are you eligible for benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)? The VA sometimes provides medical care in your home. In some areas, they offer homemaker/ home health aide services, adult day health care, and hospice. To learn more, visit www.va.gov, call the VA Health Care Benefits number, 1-877-222-8387 (toll-free), or contact the VA medical center nearest you.

Six historically Black beaches to visit this summer
THE
By; Angela Dennis When we think of Black history often times vacation destinations are left out of our dialogue. Our past is well documented with stories of slavery, plantations, and oppressive reality; yet little do we hear about how some of our ancestors and those who came before us got to celebrate their lives. As I decided to write this article I was just thinking about the history of African American tourism. As a little girl I grew up in Florida and the beach was a regular part of my life. I wondered about the history of our beaches in relation to us and discovered some amazing stories. While many of the historic Black beaches in America have seen gentrification and lack of restoration, there are a few which still remain as active and flourishing destinations where you can spend your dollars and enjoy a lovely time. It is estimated that African Americans spend billions annually so why not get a dose of sun and history in the process? Grab your swimsuits, pack a bag, and prepare for an amazing summer drenched in your Blackness. 1. Highland Beach (Maryland) This is the oldest of all the Black resort towns in America. Founded by Charles and Laura Douglass in 1893, Charles was the son of the well renowned Frederick Douglass. This beach is located approximately 35 miles outside of Washington, D.C., and was the very first Black owned resort in the history of America. This destination was birthed from an act of racial discrimination when the Douglasses were denied entry into a restaurant on Chesapeake Bay. Charles Douglass then decided to delve into the real estate industry and began purchasing beachfront property and selling lots to his friends and family. Some of its earliest purchasers were notable African American politicians in the DC/Baltimore area including senators, congressman and Judge Robert Terrell and his wife, Mary. Terrell was the first Black judge in the District of Columbia. When Charles Douglass died in 1920 its ownership was transferred to his son Haley Douglass who in 1922 led a movement to make Highland Beach the first African American incorporated municipality in the state’s history. Today there are approximately 90 homes still owned and occupied by descendants of the original settlers of Highland Beach and the Frederick Douglass Museum and Cultural Center ‘Twin Oaks’ is a local attraction at this distinctive resort desti-
nation. Langston Hughes, W.E.B. Dubois and singer Paul Robeson all made Highland Beach their summer home. 2. American Beach (Jacksonville, FL) On Amelia Island and founded in 1935, American Beach is Florida’s first African American beach. Located in Jacksonville this tourist destination was founded by Florida’s first Black millionaire Abraham Lincoln Lewis and his Afro-American Life Insurance Company. Another beach which came to fruition in defiance of segregation and Jim Crow laws, Lewis saw this as a safe haven where his friends and employees could peacefully enjoy themselves. The streets along the beach are all named after the African American founders and their families. As tourism grew the beach known as “The Negro Ocean Playground” became sprinkled with food, lodging and entertainment. It was a place of refuge for Black people during a time when other beaches were out of their reach due to segregation. On any given weekend you might see Ray Charles, Zora Neale Hurston or Hank Aaron having a good time. The beach saw a decline as it was struck by Hurricane Dora in 1964. Many of its tourists began vacationing elsewhere after the Civil Rights Act desegregated beaches. It still however remains a popular destination and historians and preservationists have been committed to preserving its heritage. When you visit be sure to check out The American Beach Museum which documents all the history of this fascinating place. If you seek a quieter spot to enjoy the ocean and sand it would be well worth paying a visit while passing through Jacksonville or visiting beautiful Amelia Island or Fernandina Beach. 3. Oak Bluffs/ Martha’s Vineyard (Massachusetts) For more than 100 years African Americans have flocked to this area on Martha’s Vineyard. One of President Obama’s and the late Maya Angelou’s favorite vacation destinations, this tourist area boasts a rich history rooted in Black culture and remains lively today. Some of its first dwellers were runaway slaves and indentured

servants. During the era of segregation Martha’s Vineyard was always a popular beach front for white tourists and thanks to Charles Shearer, the son of a slave and her white owner, he turned a beach cottage into the first inn where African Americans could lodge. This began the expansion of the Black community on Martha’s Vineyard. The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture has dedicated an exhibit to honor the work of Charles Shearer entitled “The Power of Place” and features the history of Oak Bluffs and how it has empowered African American culture. It celebrates a myriad of Black writers, political and social leaders, musicians, and thinkers that have traveled to the area. When you visit Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard be sure
to take a tour down the African American heritage trail where you will get a chance to view historic homes of people in our history. 4. Sag Harbor (Long Island, NY) We all have heard of the luxurious destination known as the Hamptons, and Sag Harbor is the Black wing of this popular and affluent beach front. It was an enclave for generations beginning in the early 20th century. If your pockets allow for some time up north this summer during a trip to New York you will find some great history in this town. After World War II during segregation Sag Harbor developed a robust community of African Americans. Working class Black families were able to purchase land and start development in the area. Over the years thankfully Sag Harbor has been able to fight off gentrification and property development and keep its roots intact. Keeping its identity has remained important to Black residents. Today as you visit you will still see a community of middle class families with a population of doctors, lawyers and other professionals. 5. Atlantic Beach (South Carolina) Known as the “Black Pearl” located between Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach, Atlantic Beach re-
mains the only current Black owned beach in the nation. Many of the properties are Black owned and operated which include hotels, gift shops, restaurants, and night clubs. Atlantic Beach hosts ‘Black Bike Week’ every year which draws large crowds of African-Americans to its shores. 6. Gullah-Geechee Islands (South Carolina) If you are looking to venture or remain in the South the Carolinas offer a nice mixture of beach destinations. Hilton Head Island and the Charleston area are both areas which also offer a historical mix. The area known as the Low Country is the site of Gullah tradition. Gullah Geechee Culture in my opinion is not as well taught in discussions of Black history. The irony to this is that the Gullah/ Geechees have preserved their history more than any African American community in the United States. The Gullah Geechee people are descendants of Central and West Africans and were enslaved together on these isolated islands which stretch along the U.S. coastline from North Carolina down to St. Johns, Florida. They developed a Creole language and today continue to preserve African practices in (Continued on pg. 18)
