Description
The task agreement shall result in a multi-chapter monograph-length historic context for African American Outdoor Recreation Resources. Spanning the years 1865 to the present, the study shall examine the post-Civil War era as African Americans sorted out their access to outdoor recreation as the nation grappled with the meaning of African American freedom and citizenship; include the years of rising Jim Crow era racial segregation and the limitations to citizenship and restricted access to travel and outdoor recreation before World War II; include the years of World War II through the rise of the modern Civil Rights Movement when African Americans became increasingly adamant about their citizenship rights and demanded access to public accommodations such as places of outdoor recreation; and include the years after 1965 when there was a push for integration and inclusion, which resulted in the National Park System becoming increasingly diverse though still struggling to connect with African American citizens as visitors to parks.
