Oscar HM is believed to be a black nudist contemporary of EJ Samuels who wrote to the American Sunbathing Association (predecessor of the American Association for Nude Recreation), asking for help getting a national negro nudist organization started under it auspices. This echoed the call of some white nudists like Steve Brentonto develop a separate but equal for a National Negro Sunbathing Association.
“Negro nudists could have all the groups they could get started among themselves… Moreover, in time, they would be independent of the ASA.” 1Brenton, Steve,“A Plan for Colored Nudists,” Sunshine & Health 14.6 (June 1945): 7.
