Carr's and Sparrow's Beach Images Needed!

The Banneker-Douglass Museum Education Department has worked with the Annapolis High School African American history classes and the Blacks of the Chesapeake Foundation over the spring to document the people, places, and events connected to Carr's and Sparrow's Beaches on the Annapolis Neck Peninsula. Throughout the semester we have visited the former site of the beaches and interviewed attendees, performers, and employees of the beaches to uncover their history.

The result of our efforts will be a short documentary on the beaches told through the people who were there to the high school juniors and seniors. The documentary is in its final stages of production now and we need your help. We are looking for images from the beaches to be included in the documentary. The images can be of people, memorabilia, or location shots. The museum is more than happy to scan and/or photograph the objects if you can bring them to us.

We need the images very quickly - no later than this Thursday, May 27! If you have images and/or objects you are willing to share, please contact Genevieve Kaplan, Education & Public Programs Manager, at 410.216.6186 or at GKaplan@goci.state.md.us.

Thanks!
