Banned from attending whites-only beaches and pools, African-Americans created vibrant beachenclaves that sprouted up along the Maryland coast where they could escape the city heat and racial oppression. Today, while some of these historical recreation spots have firm control of their legacy, others have been washed away such as Carr's Beach. Carr's Beach was once of the major Chesapeake Bay resorts that catered exclusively to African Americans between the 1930s and the 1960s. But today, a luxury condo community has since taken Carr's Beach's place along the shores of the Severn River. During its height, there would be massive crowd at the beach's pavilion to watch the live radio broadcast of Hoppy Adams' "Bandstand on the Beach." In this package, Carroll "Mr. C" Hynson, shares his memories of working for that broadcast and spending his summers at Carr's Beach.
