      Beaches are synonymous with California. A lot of states line up to the coast -- but our state is best-known for it. Amazing.

      But, like the rest of the California and the US, the beaches here were the sites of segregation and racial violence.

      People joke about how black folks in LA who live so close to the beach can't swim. Umm. Maybe because you might get killed for trying?

      Black folks in LA and other parts of California attempted, with different degrees of success, to establish their own beaches.

      You've probably heard of Santa Monica's Inkwell. There's a lot of misinformation about it, but it really was a Jim Crow-style beach.

      There was Pacific Beach Club, an extravagant black beach club that was supposed to open in 1926. It was burned down, probably by the KKK.

      White people were so mad black people might have access to a fancy beach club that they burned the entire thing down right before it opened.

      No one was ever arrested or charged for the crime. Because who was going to defend black beach-goers -- even rich ones? Not the state.

      For poc, going to the beach is a rich and complicated part of California's history. But we rarely see old images of ourselves at the beach.

          And even today, media largely makes people of color invisible at the beach. And yes, a lot of us have our own reasons for not going as much.
