Bay Street Beach Historic District (also known as the Inkwell) is an historic beach in Los Angeles County.[1]

History

The beach was a place of recreation and leisure for African Americans during the Jim Crow era. The beach was located at Pico Boulevard and two city blocks south to Bicknell Street,[2] near Phillips Chapel Christian Methodist Episcopal Church .[3][4] In 1922, the Santa Monica Bay Protective League was organized to attempt to fence the beach to exclude African Americans.[5] In 1927, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People challenged restrictive covenants at Manhattan Beach, south of Santa Monica, which were overturned by the Supreme Court of California .[4]

Alison Rose Jefferson and Michael Blum documented the history of the district. In 2008, Santa Monica officially recognized the district.[3][6]
