Biographical / Historical:
During the 50s and early 60s, Anne Arundel County was still segregated and the beaches for [African Americans] were Carr's Beach and Sparrow's Beach in Annapolis, and the beach communities of Highland Beach, Arundel-On-The-Bay, and Columbia Beach in the county. Carr's Beach was the most famous of the beaches and was affectionately called "The Beach". During the week "The Beach" was a place for day camp, church picnics, etc. But on the week-ends especially Sunday afternoons, Carr's Beach had the unique distinction of being a major stop on the "Chitlin Circuit".

Scope and Contents:
Three television cameras, marked "NBC" and "WNBT," with bank of lights, photographed from a low angle. The print is marked "1939" in ink in bottom right margin, presumably by Laport, but this may be erroneous because the cameras shown seem to be later. According to information supplied on 23 Jan. 2009 by the Rev. B. Woods Mattingley, a television cameraman beginning from 1956 on, the cameras date from either the late 1940s or early 1950s.
