Newtown’s proud history of advancing African American civil rights and equality is recognized nationally as an attraction to visit and appreciate. A new site as of 2019, the “Newtown African American Heritage Trail” is the southernmost point of the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. As a visitor, you can discover this rich piece of Sarasota's history aboard a Newtown Alive trolley tour.
Focused on the 1950s and 1960s efforts of Newtown residents to desegregate Sarasota’s beaches, the Sarasota stop on the trail highlights the civil rights history of Sarasota’s African-American community Newtown. These efforts included car caravans from Newtown to Lido Beach for peaceful protests called “wade-ins,” an attempt to force beach integration.
