The correct article title is : "Town looks to protect itself"

Your title is "Black Owned Beach Town Looks To Protect Itself From NAACP"

Please inform us of why you chose to change the title to include "Black owned town"? Are there no white owners in Atlantic Beach? What gives with you?

Is there a rule that says you must copy vague headlines exactly? The 1st paragraph of the story states "but officials in Atlantic Beach, a predominantly black town north of Myrtle Beach,"

The headline I chose gives a clue to what the story is about. What gives with you?

The title is correct. Atlantic Beach is a throwback to Jim Crow where blacks were not allowed on white beaches. It really was the "black beach".

Note the beach road stops at Ocean Drive and continues on the other side of Atlantic Beach. If you wanted to cruise AB, you had to reach it via the highway.
