Friday Arts

The Other Atlantic City

Clip | 8m 56s

In September, Friday Art’s Art of Life segment will take viewers back in time with a visit to the historic Chicken Bone Beach in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Also known as Missouri Avenue Beach, the site fondly got the name because the segregated beach was visited by African Americans who would come to the beach with baskets of fried chicken, and when done, they would bury the bones in the sand.
