Original Note:
Both White and Black activists illegally jumped in the 'Whites Only' pool together to protest the law. Brock (a law-abiding citizen) shouted "I'm cleaning pool," then poured muriatic acid (safe to pour into a pool) into the pool. No one was harmed, or even got out. https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/motel-manager-pouring-acid-water-black-people-swam-pool-1964/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964_Monson_Motor_Lodge_protests https://civilrights.flagler.edu/digital/collection/p16000coll6/id/196/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1964_Monson_Motor_Lodge_protests#CITEREFSnodgrass2009
