The documentary on "Rock Rest" is going well. Planned premiere is end of April at the Star Theater, Kittery. It's an important story about traveling while black between the 1940's and the civil rights movement in the late 60's. Rock Rest was a guest house for African American travelers owned and operated by Hazel and Clayton Sinclair, pioneers in the Seacoast NAACP - it's an extraordinary story about an exceptional couple.

Co-producer Bob Sheppard and I are well underway with our new documentary on Rock Rest, the story of Clayton and Hazel Sinclair and their Kittery Point, Maine guest house for black travelers from the mid 1940's to 1975. We had a wonderful time interviewing author and professor Gretchen Sorin about "Driving While Black" (her book published in 2020), the risks and limitations for blacks traveling in that time period, the Sinclair's and what made Rock Rest stand out from other guest houses. The doc will premiere in early April.
