Description
A postcard of "an American Beach" film by Kathleen Donaghy sent from MaVynee Betsch (pictured in the postcard) to Althemese Barnes. In addition to the printed description of the film, the postcard also contains notes from Betsch. The film itself connects the beach's beginnings, originally founded by Abraham Lincoln Lewis in the Jim Crow era, to the modern day efforts of his great-granddaughter, MaVynee Betsch, also known as the "Beach Lady," a name she uses for herself and writes in the return address of the postcard.
