Description
An advertisement for the documentary film titled "an AMERICAN BEACH," documenting the story of American Beach on Amelia Island, which provided African Americans with beach access during segregation. It 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." In addition to outlining historic context, the film highlights MaVynee's efforts to protect her community from encroachment by major developers in the area.
