A Colorized photo of 4 gorgeous women on the Chicken Bone Beach section of Atlantic City in the 1950s.
Between 1900 and early 1950s, African Americans were socially restricted to use the Missouri Avenue Beach Area. Since many vacationing Black families arrived with chicken-laden hampers, the strip became affectionately named Chicken Bone Beach by other African-Americans.
