I didn't just read this, I truly experienced it. You've taken Lincoln Hills from the shadows and put it back into the center of American history. That is important. Many of us grew up feeling excluded from natural spaces, as if nature wasn't for us. But this story reminded me that we have always found ways to enjoy, connect, and feel free, even when society told us we couldn’t.

Lincoln Hills’ legacy is a strong reminder that Black families have always valued land, community, and happiness. We have always created our own sanctuaries. Winks Lodge, the jazz greats, the literary gatherings—they are our treasures, our heritage.

This story pushes for meaningful discussions about land access, fairness in leisure, and who still feels unsafe outdoors. Thank you for bringing this story to light with care, context, and respect. I'm going to share this widely.
