520 From the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century,
African Americans in the Washington, D.C. area sought
leisure destinations where they could relax without the
burden of racial oppression. Local picnic parks such as
Eureka and Madre's were accessible by streetcars. Black-
owned steamboats ferried passengers seeking sun and sand
to places like Collingwood Beach, and African American
families settled into quiet beach-side communities along
the Western Shore of Maryland. Author and public historian
Patsy M. Fletcher reveals the history behind Washington's
forgotten era of African American leisure.
