"Tony" you must have some interesting/cool bits of history. I'm in the early stages of developing a three-section documentary on the history of our island and always looking for whatever bits of History I can find about LI. Would love to hear from you. Thanks, Leonardo.

This is the upper crust of black wealth, I remember watching this on the OWN channel. It's fascinating to see wealthy African Americans live in their hard work of Spiritual and Economical wealth. I would have loved to have been a fly on wall to watch these extremely successful and accomplish people of color exchange professional dialect of tomorrow's events.

No way I would’ve sold man. Smh, land is everything

I own home in Azurest and it is truly a special community and being a lifelong Sag Harbor resident and "local", this is VERY well done.

I am watching this video 7 years later and I also was looking at the price in the millions.

Great to see these wonderful Sag Harbor stories! Some amazing people! I grew up in Brooklyn/Crown Heights, President Street. My neighbor's parents had homes there. I used to visit during childhood in the 1960s! Like a 'Black Hollywood' but very friendly style with celebrities, successful, educated, and regular family people all together! Nice multi-generational mix, also a 'safe place' to be a person of color! Thank you!

I would’ve never sold that land

My thought exactly especially beach front!

As a former Brooklyn boy/filmmaker,/artist/writer and Long Island history buff, I'm blown away; I had no idea about this. I've been to SH countless times and have never seen one single black person. Great to learn more about our island's history (especially since I'm developing a film on the Island's history :)

Grateful to find this content.

Wonderful video. So inspiring.

For divers reasons, mainly cultural and having to do with a history of another part of African American life to which I've never been privy, I'm immensely enjoying what I see and hear. I'm enjoying this video as much as I have enjoyed reading anything by Lawrence Otis Graham, black America's answer to Stephen Birmingham, whom I also enjoy. This is a segment of American history that not only must be preserved but made accessible to the wider social demographic. As for me personally this is an eye opener, although I have been exposed to affluence in black America by way of the Baldwin Hills section of Los Angeles, yet come from lower middle class beginnings. My research -- and I wouldn't mind being factchecked as to my finds by anyone -- reveals that what is now Manhattan Beach, Ca., was once upon a time an all black resort. I sadly do not have enough data to know whether it was on a level of wonderful Sag Harbor, however. Then, too, I have come across scant reference to another once all black resort in Florida, American Beach, my acquaintance coming perhaps from readings of Zora Neale Hurston. My dream is that uber affluent black Americans invest in the maintenance of these historical relics of summa importance to black America, for they promote a positive psychological reinforcement to a demographic continually under all manner of race prejudice the present presidential campaign is exposing.

Great piece.

If I could "like" this 10 times, I would.

I wonder if the people in this documentary still own their homes in Sag Harbor

Awesome !!!!!

Im a black women watching this in 2023, I wonder how many of those families are still there. It was heartbreaking to see what happened to B. Smith and what her husband did. Sad folks will talk a good one but whens it time, do the opposite.

Great History. And shame how B.Smith's ex did her in the end, in the midst of her sickness and passing. Smdh.

Funny how she said he’s allowed like hunny everyone knows when they say African American who they are talking about

You never sell waterfront property or property near beaches = location location location $$$$$$

This is the 'Cleaned Up" version. The original was so 'divisive'. It had so many 'seperative' statements that it was unwatchable. I'm using the word 'separative' to be nice
