توضیحات
"Where are all the Black people going?"My mother asked that question in the 1970s. The answer was Martha's Vineyard. It still is.For more than a century, this island has been the summer home and playground of Black America. Black families could rent a room here, buy a house and pass it down, when other resort towns shut the door.Every August, they come home: film, book and comedy festivals, HBCU reunions, porch parties. We call it Black August.The Vineyard: Our Happy Place is my reference guide to all of it. I've summered on the Vineyard for more than 50 years, and my family still owns our home in Oak Bluffs.I don't know everything about this island. Nobody does. This book is what those summers taught me, written for Black travelers first and for anyone the island is calling.PLAN IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIMEEvery ferry and flight, with fares, schedules and the car-reservation rules that trip up first-timersWhen to go, what it costs, and a sample budget for the weekHouse or inn?
