Notes

Abstract:
Members of the Virginia Key Beach Park Trust pose for the camera after a meeting. Seated in the middle (with beard) is Gene Tinnie, Chair of the Virginia Key Beach Park Trust. Virginia Key Beach Park was opened in 1945 and was known as "the colored beach" during the era of racial segregation in the South. The park was closed in 1982 due to high maintenance and operating costs and the park subsequently fell into disrepair. In 1999, a group of citizens formed the Virginia Key Beach Park Task Force to resurrect and restore this historic site. ( en )
