## Caption

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. enjoyed moments by the beach, too. In this 1956 snapshot, he poses with Reverend Russell Roberts at Missouri Avenue Beach in Atlantic City, NJ—affectionately called 'Chicken Bone Beach.' During segregation, this beach became a sanctuary for Black vacationers from the early 1900s to the mid-1960s, offering a vibrant, self-created oasis of joy and community. #MLKJr #MLKWeekend | 📷: John W.
