Sarasota in Florida, with two and a half miles of gulf front, does not have a beach where colored people are welcome. The bizarre development of Sarasota's major beach problem was determined largely by its being a typically Florida resort, consisting of a Northern community grafted on a Southern and functioning as a haven from the more turbulent currents of life. The community's rapid growth has been a further complicating factor. Town and county have doubled in population during the past six years and now claim about 35,000 and 60,000 permanent residents respectively. Approximately one-sixth of the county residents are African Americans.
