I personally chose this article because it was on the list of suggested articles for a class project. After reading this article, I was hooked. It is about a beach with a very interesting history and needs more written about it on this particular page. I am unfamiliar with the history of American Beach and would like to learn more.

Evaluate the article
This article on American Beach, located in northeastern Florida has a deep history rooted in racism and segregation. It briefly discusses that decreased amount of visitors and popularity since the Civil Rights Act was passed. It then touches on the necessity for preservation of the beach that hallmarks a notable time in American history that helps to symbolize the strength and determination for many black Americans as they fought against the system that continued to oppress them.
