I had no idea that was a thing until I found out the town I live in today, the same town that lynched an innocent black man 100 years ago, had a huge circular swimming pool in a park in the center of town that was filled in for some reason in the 1960s.
For the same reason white people filled in public swimming pools with concrete when black folks started moving into the neighborhood.
