With support from SMFA Tufts, we're hosting a colloquium for open discussion about the research and experiences behind Rights Along the Shore. Artists Mary Ellen Strom, Danielle Abrams have invited the activists, and researchers to engage in a series of talks.

Rights Along the Shore, the latest exhibition at BCA, examines on the history of segregated swimming sites in Northern and Southern US locations. This exhibition focuses on the social transformation and social costs ignited by the NAACP-organized “wade-in” resistance at South Boston’s Carson Beach in the summer of 1975.
