From Vicki Rashbaum: Just saw this well done, incredible documentary at the Maryland Film Festival, May 5th. A must see for all who want to know more about Desegregation in Maryland in 1960's.....
When I was a kid, 1962 my mom took me to Glen Echo and we went to the pool and it was segregated. In fact, I asked her why the black children were separated from us in the locker room AND in the pool. Glen Echo was a mess in terms of equality for a very long time, so the focus on this story is a tad light-handed. The bulk of the work is always done by civil rights workers to unravel racist policies. You also have ignored the legitimate emotions that were expressed at the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968 and the march that took place all the way out to Glen Echo. Glen Echo's segregation was an abomination for a very long time..
