Riverside Racism: Segregation at Riverside Amusement Park

by Madison Hincks

This Prezi traces the history of Riverside Amusement Park and the intersections of racism and environmental justice at the site from its founding in 1903 through desegregation battles in the 1950s and 60s, its eventual closing subsequent health hazards, to the present concerns about gentrification.
