Mosquito Beach: A Civil Rights Era Story of Segregation, Entrepreneurship and Resiliency
Join historians Michael and Latanya Allen and Brittany Lavelle Tulla as they share their research into the history of an iconic Lowcountry place, and the ongoing work. Mosquito Beach, part of the Sol Legare community on James Island, was recently listed as a National Register Historic District. In the mid-20th century it was a popular recreational venue and refuge for African Americans, who otherwise lived in the shadow of Jim Crow segregation.
