Notes

Abstract:
A letter sent to the employees and volunteers of Virginia Key Beach Park thanking them for their efforts in ensuring the success of the first event held at the park after its restoration. The letter was written by Maud Newbold, one of the Trustees 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 )
