Andrew W. Kahrl chronicles the persistent efforts of Ned Coll and his organization, Peace Advocates, to challenge the systemic privatization of Connecticut’s coastline during the late 1960s and 1970s. This historical account examines the intersection of racial segregation, property law, and the struggle for public access to natural resources, revealing how affluent communities utilized exclusionary tactics to restrict beach access.
