Ocean Jazz City Festival Presents Black Beaches During Segregation!

“Black Beaches during Segregation” is a powerful and poignant art exhibit by Rik Freeman that sheds light on the history of Black communities’ coastal experiences during a time of racial segregation. Through a blend of vivid imagery and historical context, Freeman’s collection illuminates the resilience and cultural significance of Black beach communities,. The Ocean City Beach Community is included in the series.  The exhibit captures the beauty, pride, and challenges faced by African Americans who created and maintained vibrant social spaces amidst the harsh realities of segregation.
