520    "The story of our separate and unequal America in the 
       making, and one man's fight against it--During the long, 
       hot summers of the late 1960s and 1970s, one man began a 
       campaign to open some of America's most exclusive beaches 
       to minorities and the urban poor. 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.
