Abstract

Older black women's leisure experiences have not been studied in the past. Their unique point of view comes from diverse social and cultural experiences punctuated by a lifetime of inequities. Their experiences were described in routine terms; they talked about making it through the day. Their losses led to a feeling of loneliness. They found refuge in affiliating with others at the church and senior centers. Church activities and the personal experience of worship provided a context for remaining independent as they aged.
