SUMMARY:Remembering Rosedale Beach
DESCRIPTION:Remembering Rosedale Beach is a compilation of Historical accounts and oral histories of people who experienced the magic of one of the greatest culture institutions in America the former Rosedale Beach Hotel and Resort\, given by historian Tamara R. Burks. During the depression era and beyond Rosedale Beach was a fantastic place of leisure and activities for people of color along the American east coast. Due to segregation policies and practices in early America\, people of color of a variety of backgrounds were barred from frequenting various types of public facilities\, such as hotels and restaurants. These communities had to create and run their own entertainment venues and facilities\, and they also ran their own leisure activities. This was the case when Rosedale Beach was in operation and was transformed into a major East Coast vacation destination. People came to Rosedale Beach from points north\, south\, east\, and west to vacation for the day\, the week or the summer. Visitors came to be entertained by top-of-the-line entertainment and to enjoy leisure activities\, such as baseball games\, swimming\, church picnics and other activities. The Rosedale Beach story continues to draw in people from all walks of life under the umbrella of amazing\, world-class music and entertainment. \nTamara R. Burks has a background in journalism\, media studies and historical research and interpretation and served as a historical interpreter and researcher for HCA from 2002 to 2011.
