Damian Marley<\/a> celebrates Earth Day<\/a> with the new song \u201cLife Is a Circle,\u201d featuring a video telling the segregated history of Miami\u2019s Virginia Key Beach Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directed by B+, the clip sees Marley standing on the historic beach as title cards and footage explain its history: Black Americans were not allowed on most beaches during segregation. In the spring of 1945, civil rights activists supported by the local NAACP chapter staged a \u201cwade-in\u201d at a whites-only beach, resulting in the opening of Virginia Key \u2014 Miami\u2019s first black-only beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Following its closure in 1982, the abandoned beach was overgrown with invasive plants and animals, suffering vandalism and hurricanes. City officials wanted to sell it but they were stopped by grassroots organizers and the beach was restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It reopened in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
