That man was anti- poverty activist and one-time presidential candidate Ned Coll of Connecticut, a state that permitted public access to a mere seven miles of its 253-mile shoreline. Nearly all of the state's coast was held privately, for the most part by white, wealthy residents. This book is the first to tell the story of the controversial protester who gathered a band of determined African American mothers and children and challenged the racist, exclusionary tactics of homeowners in a state synonymous with liberalism. Coll's legacy of remarkable successes--and failures-- illuminates how our nation's fragile coasts have not only become more exclusive in subsequent decades but also have suffered greater environmental destruction and erosion as a result of that private ownership."--Publisher's website. 588 0 Online resource; title from pdf title page (Proquest, viewed May 14, 2020). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 African Americans|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85001932|xLand tenure|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh00006381|zConnecticut|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79074102-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Beaches|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85012606|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh00002758|zConnecticut.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79074102-781 650 7 African Americans|xLand tenure.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/799629 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 African Americans.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 799558 650 7 Beaches|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/829132 650 7 Beaches.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/829107 651 7 Connecticut.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1205688 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aKahrl, Andrew W., 1978-|tFree the beaches.|dNew Haven : Yale University Press, [2018] |z0300215142|w(OCoLC)1002669822 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1720122|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
