Beverly Barnes, Karla Barnes, Billy Harris and Debra Harris on Chicken Bone Beach in Atlantic City, New Jersey
1940s
Mosley, John W
Sisters Beverly and Karla Barnes with brother and sister Billy and Debra Harris posed on Chicken Bone Beach. Chicken Bone Beach was the segregated section for African Americans on Atlantic City's beach area. Between 1900 and the early 1950s, African Americans were socially restricted to use the Missouri Avenue Beach Area. Since many vacationing Black families arrived with chicken-laden hampers, the strip became affectionately named “Chicken Bone Beach.”
