Comment on GLEN ECHO PARK by Pete

After over 50 years as one of the Washington area’s most popular recreational spots, Glen Echo fell victim to the changing times and tastes that caused the demise of so many of America’s amusement parks in the 1950s and 60s. A steady decline in attendance brought Glen Echo Park’s tenure to an end with the close of the 1968 season….

I think TV had more to do with the closing than racism. The owners were going to tear it down and put up an apartment complex but the feds traded it for a downtown property. When discussing racist policies and broad brushing an entire community as racist it’s good to know the facts.

I would like to meet some Black people who witness racism at Glen Echo park. I am from DC 44 years old Black man and would have love to have been a teenager around 1966 when I was born. I guess DC had problems in the 60′s but this park was located in Bethesda. What does this say about Bethesda today. Still racist, not to mention Klan infested Montgomery County. I would love to know if there were any unsolved murders of Blacks near this racist park in the 60′s. I say lets dig this up Marylard still racist especially White male law enforcement. I don’t trust any White law enforcement. I know it was hell in the 60′s. I want the real history of this park 1940-1968 would be great.
