Three-Legged Race, 1951

Three-Legged Race, 1951
The events of 1946 did not permanently damage race relations at Euclid Beach, as evidenced in this 1951 photograph showing black and white boys participating in a three-legged race at the park. Nevertheless, the park's management privatized some attractions to skirt the effect of the 1947 anti-discrimination ordinance and even closed the bathing facilities completely in 1951 to avoid interracial use. | Date: 1951 | Source: Cleveland State University.
