As a response to the video in THIS POST, here is a debunking of the idea that overpasses were built over Long Island parkways specifically to keep black and Puerto Rican people from going to the beach. The theory was that the overpasses were intentionally built too low to allow buses to pass underneath them. But it turns out that buses and other commercial vehicles were already prohibited from parkways *by* *law*… and the buses that *could* go to this beach anyway all came from *white* population areas.
