Ray Charles at Rosedale Beach
-
Segregation in Delaware extended to beaches and resorts.
-
Rosedale Beach, a segregated African American resort spot on Indian River Bay near Millsboro, was part of the Chitlin Circuit that attracted major African American entertainers like Ray Charles, who is announced as the opening act of the 1957 summer season in this broadside poster advertisement.
Rosedale Beach's boardwalk was destroyed in a hurricane in 1962 and integration shortly after that led to its demise as a resort destination.
