Beautiful Faces 1971 is a photographic journey back in time to the first interracial summer overnight camp in the South. Remember of course, in those days most children played, communicated, acted silly, and had sleep-overs only within their racial divide of either black or white.

So, this first overnight summer camp was special and unfamiliar, particularly for those southern communities that sponsored children to attend for a week.

The specialness of this event attracted Coretta Scott King, wife of Dr. Martin Luther King, who attended with her children to participate in the camp itself.

This monumental first camp took place at Camp Blue Star in Hendersonville, NC, nestled away on 500 acres with a small lakeside village of children’s cabins spread around with trails and roads heading up towards the many fields and camp outbuildings up the mountainside. Idyllic for urban children to escape to and create a temporary new order of all children playing and enjoying each other, no matter what they looked like.

This unique series of photographs is a slice of history never before seen. It was for some a “Summer of Love” … an awakening … Hope!

About the Author

In 1971, Ken Solomon lived in New York City, trying to fulfill his dream of working as a photographer in glamorous New York, New York. Instead, he reconnected about a job with Camp Blue Star, an adventurous Jewish summer overnight camp deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. A place he had worked a number of summers before.

When Solomon arrived at camp, he found out there was to be a very special one-week camp for children from the urban south before the regular camp began. The first interracial summer overnight camp in the South, sponsored by southern urban community organizations. The rest is history. The camp experience was a wonderful, heartfelt time and a huge success.

Solomon’s life took him to Florida, and eventually California. He married, and had a daughter, Terry. He adopted John, a Korean boy, Kate, a black girl, Matthew, a black boy, and Cary, a black boy

Solomon’s life became raising a mixed race family and business, until his divorce and when he came out as a gay man. He then moved to San Francisco, worked at a gay-owned newspaper, The Bay Times, before working for the SF Weekly and Bay Guardian newspapers.

Cheap Replacement
These are an easy replacement for anyone who owns a BMW m52/m54 engine that has PCV issues. My car was burning about 1 quart every 1,000 miles. The parts are direct fit and install fairly easy. If there is resistance, lube the hole or o-ring up with some grease and it will slide in easier. Took me about 2 hours start to finish. My mechanic recommended that I remove the intake manifold to do the job. I don’t see how you could do it without removing the intake manifold. These parts probably won’t last as long as true BMW parts but on a 20 year old car I don’t see the benefit in using genuine BMW parts. Cheap stuff will suffice; worst case it doesn’t last quite as long.

NOT TOO HARD TO INSTALL...
This CCV kit seems adequate. People say that because the hoses supplied with these kits are more brittle than the genuine BMW parts, these are tough to install... But they're really not. The ends on these hoses SWIVEL and you can sort of eyeball which way you need the fitting to be pointing BEFORE you put them on your manifold... They swivel, but they're tight and it takes a little force to turn them. ALSO, a little dab of silicone gel or a spray of silicone out of the can, into the fittings on these makes a world of difference when clicking them on... For the price, I highly recommend the kit.

Great value
I recently had to replace the starter on my 2001 325i E46 with about 150k miles. While I had the intake off, I figured it would be a good time to replace the CCV because I was unsure if it had ever been done. My old CCV literally fell apart as I removed it, so I'm glad I replaced it. The new parts were a little tough to put together, but overall came together well enough. A lot can be forgiven for the price. I would recommend assembling the system before installing in your vehicle to get a good sense of how it all goes together and to hopefully loosen up the fittings just a tad before installation. 50skid on youtube has a great DIY for doing this job. I only finished this job yesterday, but my car has been running great. I can't yet confirm, but this may have solved my running lean problem.

Cheap plastic parts -- good fit
They are what they are: Cheap plastic parts. They fit, but long-term durability will be a challenge. Probably will buy from FCP Euro going forward (and just did for a fuel line replacement).
