In 1937, there was a “Whites Only” beach at the Forest Preserves’ Sauk Trail Lake. When our staff became aware of this shocking fact, we asked Loyola University Prof. Theodore Karamanski to lead a research project to learn more about the history of segregation in the Forest Preserves.

The final report paints a complex picture. Segregation of African Americans at Forest Preserves swimming facilities was an established procedure in the 1930s, for example, yet some summer camps in the Forest Preserves during this period were at the forefront of racially integrated outdoor activities for youth.

In a Q&A with Karamanski and Forest Preserves Commissioner Donna Miller—whose great grandmother was excluded from golfing at a Forest Preserves course because she was Black—we explore segregation and integration in the Forest Preserves, the context of the times, and what it takes to move towards a more equitable future.
