Throughout the twentieth century, African
Americans challenged segregation at amusement
parks, swimming pools, and skating rinks not only
in pursuit of pleasure but as part of a wider struggle
for racial equality. Well beiore the Montgomery bus
boycott, mothers led their children into segregated
amusement parks, teenagers congregated at
forbidden swimming pools, and church groups
picnicked at white-only parks. But too often white
mobs attacked those who dared to transgress racial
norms. In Race, Riots, and Roller Coasters, Victoria
W. Wolcott tells the story of this battle for access to
leisure space in cities all over the United States.
Contradicting the nostalgic image of urban leisure
venues as democratic spaces, Wolcott reveals
that racial segregation was crucial to their appeal.
Parks, pools, and playgrounds offered city dwellers
room to exercise, relax, and escape urban cares.
These gathering spots also gave young people the
opportunity to mingle, flirt, and dance. As cities grew
more diverse, these social forms of fun prompted
white insistence on racially exclusive recreation.
Wolcott shows how black activists and ordinary
people fought such infringements on their right to
access public leisure. In the face of violence and
intimidation, they swam at white-only beaches,
boycotted discriminatory roller rinks, and picketed
Jim Crow amusement parks. When African Americans
demanded inclusive public recreational facilities, white
consumers abandoned those places. Many parks
closed or privatized within a decade of desegregation.
Wolcott s book tracks the decline of the urban
amusement park and the simultaneous rise of the
suburban theme park, reframing these shifts within
the civil rights context.
Filled with detailed accounts and powerful
insights, Race, Riots, and Roller Coasters brings
to light overlooked aspects of conflicts over public
accommodations. This eloquent history demonstrates
the significance of leisure in American race relations.
Victoria W. Wolcott is Associate Professor of History
at the University at Buffalo,
SUNY,
and the author of
