The trouble at Euclid Beach during the summer of 1946 started on the night of July 27. That evening, an interracial group of youths were refused entry to the dancing pavilion and, upon protest, ejected from the park. Groups picketed in front of the park the following week. 'We went to Normandy Beach together, what's the matter with Euclid Beach' and 'Hitler and Humphrey believe in super race,' read two of the signs. Some of the picketers wore their military uniforms as they walked back and forth in front of the park's main gates.
