As we reach the peak of the summer heat, theGrio celebrates the legacy of Black summer retreats, including Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard.
If you’ve never visited the Martha’s Vineyard enclave of Oak Bluffs—or Martha’s Vineyard at all, for that matter—you might envision it as immortalized in the 1994 cult-classic film , by Kevin J. Parham (Pria Publishing, 2014)
