Notes

General Note:
This interview with Keith Bertram Clark is part of a series of interviews that took place during the Sunset Toast celebration at Historic Virginia Key Beach Park. Clark is from Miami and he remembers the train, the carousel and the food. He is glad to know that one of the black community's goals is to make the beach accessible for everyone. Clark started visiting Virginia Key Beach at five years old, in the mid-1950s. For Clark, a typical day at the beach was "wonderful." Clark revealed that he converted from Catholicism to the Bahá'í faith at Virginia Key Beach. Clark also reveals that he stopped visiting Virginia Key Beach (brief tape break) because he, and others, lived too far north of the beach. But he also claims that he does not really remember why he stopped coming. Clark feels that the restoration holds quite a bit of promise.
