While for most children, recreational activities like amusement parks, sports leagues, zoos are benchmark memories, for Black children, especially those growing up during the civil rights era and prior to desegregation, they are little more than reminders of exclusion during their childhoods and today, whether at pools or at playgrounds, we're still seeing echoes of recreational policing. In this episode host and producer, Jennifer Taylor-Skinner talks to Professor Jeff Wiltse, author of Contested Waters, Professor Victoria Walcott, author of Race, Riots and Rollercoasters, Historian and civil rights activist Margaret Morrison and Scholar Mia Carey, who wrote the paper Becoming a Force for Desegregation, the Girl Scouts and Civil Rights in the Nation's Capitol.  You financial support for this podcast is welcome at damemagazine.com/support-dame
