Nearly 50 years ago, Johnny and Ann Parham bought a beach house near New York City to provide a summer escape for them and their infant son.
It was a two-story, cedar-shingle cottage in the tiny town of Ocean Beach on Fire Island — a place known for its natural beauty, old-time feel and liberal spirit.
In the decades that followed, the Parhams enjoyed magical summers. They hosted large lobster dinners, helped to organize community events like the Golden Wagon Film Festival and spent long days at the beach with their son and, years later, their two grandsons.
Even though they were the only Black homeowners in town, Johnny and Ann never felt even a tinge of racism in Ocean Beach.
“This has always been a magnificent place for us,” Johnny, now 83, said.
But then came the weekend of Aug. 22.
Just before 5:30 p.m., Ann Parham returned from a walk with her 12-year-old grandson to find a racial epithet scrawled on the footpath in front of their home.
