Hello! I’m a writer and I’m currently working on a story that has two Hispanics go on a date on Coney Island’s boardwalk. I am just hoping someone clarifies whether or not black and Hispanic people were allowed onto the boardwalk during that time period. Was there segregation and other restrictions? I’ve done some googling and there’s no clear answer.
