  Great photo, shows the patriotism that individuals, even children , used to have in this country. This is a sight that in today's America, you are not likely to see anymore. The photo does a fantastic job in displaying a simpler time the country enjoyed at one point.

  notice no fences, walls, lifeguards, flotation, life jackets...it was much easier to have a swim before government regulation!

  Seabrook was a White playground from when it opened in 1916 to about 1948 when it became a Black playground. And it had a paid play supervisor for that entire time (as all Richmond municipal playgrounds did until the late 1950s). There was plenty of government regulation.
