On The Beach At Idlewild

Portrait of a large group of unidentified people (friends and/or family members of future newspaper publisher John H. Sengstacke) as they pose on the beach outside the Idlewild Club House, Idlewild, Michigan, September 1938. Idlewild, known as 'the Black Eden,' was a resort community that catered to African Americans, who were excluded from other resorts prior to the passage of the Civil RIghts Act of 1964.
