Those who pay attention as they are driving on Highway 17 in the Pawleys Island area may have noticed the ruins of an old motel behind a fence and a street sign saying "Old Beach Road." That is what is left of McKenzie Beach, once a popular and well-known vacation resort. But what made it important then was that it was a beach for African-Americans at a time when direct access to the Atlantic oceanfront in the Jim Crow South was extremely limited.
"McKenzie Beach Memories - Art by Natalie Daise" is made up of paintings that have been used as the illustrations for the book "McKenzie Beach Memories," published by CLASS Publishing and available in September.
