Oak Bluffs is an idyllic resort town on Martha’s Vineyard that has held a unique place in black history since the late 1800s. During segregation, it was one of the few resort communities where black families could vacation freely alongside white families. It still serves as an important oasis and gathering place for (wealthy) black families and professionals, with many rental properties booked years in advance by its loyal patrons.
Ralph Lauren honored this rich history last week with a collection in partnership with Morehouse and Spelman Colleges. As a part of the campaign, they released a documentary titled A Portrait of the American Dream: Oak Bluffs. Enjoy.
