Delray Beach's LaFrance Hotel certainly fit the bill. When it opened its doors in 1949, the LaFrance - on Northwest Fourth Avenue - was the only hotel for African-Americans between Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. It also became a central gathering place for the community. category:Arts and Entertainment website:Click to visit the site
