While some photographs capture our attention because of how the artist behind the picture has decided to
compose the shot, others are fascinating simply because of the subjects that they depict. Below are some
captivating photographs that tell stories about our past, depicting the people, places and events that have
shaped the course of history. Some of these pictures tell us about history in a way that books and documents will
never be able to.

How do we know it's acid? Because it is written? I looked at the picture and found nothing to prove it.
able to use the pool then......right?

It was a documented case, it happened quite often. They would put enough in to irritate the skin and drive the blacks
out of the hotel, then close the pool for a day while they added enough fresh water to dilute the acid to a point of
cleaning the pool without harming people.

The picture isn't all bad. There is a white guy swimming in the pool with everyone else.
comforting the black ladies who are in distress. I do not know enough of the alleged practice of putting acid

19. into pools in which black people are swimming, but I can clearly see from the picture that at least one man
has the brains and intelligence to see that skin colour is nothing and irrelevant.
the bad...even though there is a lot of it.

The blind hatred in racists tends to make them think they are doing the right thing when they are hurting the
race they dislike. Racism is a strange disease and it really is a disease. For example a white racist might offend
a black man and get a punch in the shout. To the racist that punch is proof that he was right to drive the
black man into a rage. Even after the horrors during WWII were well exposed to the European population
there were still quite a few that felt not enough Jews had been slaughtered. It is s strange problem that resists
solutions.

Sometimes when hatred is that strong good judgement is pushed to the side. Truly blinded by hatred. It's not that
difficult to believe, sadly. Worse crimes have committed, insensible ones, too.

Uh, the photo was snapped by a photog who worked for either Assoc. Press or UPI. The reporter on the scene got the
details (name of man with jug, why he was pouring it into the pool, etc. News editors back in the day took a very dim
view of reporters and photographers "creating" their own news items. The penalty for doing so was that you were
fired and never got to work for another news outlet. (Today, they could work for several news and internet outlets,
but we won't go there today...)

They didn't care if they could use the pool again...all they cared is that the black people in the pool suffered...How

It is horrible, but from the little I know, wouldn't the acid just be diluted? If it was really strong, it might irritate their skin
after it's been diluted, but is it that easy to get strong acids?
I'm more worried about it splashing onto their skin - they look really close to it.

Y ou use muriatic acid in a pool. It's the same stuff that drain cleaner is made of.
and is extremely dangerous (and easy to obtain). Y ou don't swim in a pool at the same time acid is being poured into
it. It has to circulate to be safe.

It doesn't dilute fast enough and is dangerous. Municipal pools sometimes stock powerful eye drops as swimmers
sometimes hit pockets of chlorine or acid that have failed to mix with the water in a calm pool.

Walk into any pool supply store and you can but muriatic acid easily without an ID. It is not the strongest acid in the
world. It is wonderful for removing sprinkler. rust stains from the sides of painted, concrete homes and fences. If it
got on my skin I simply washed it off with the hose a bit. I used to apply it to concrete with a paint brush and hose it
off almost instantly and all the rust was gone.

The picture from Sweden is actually just before we switched to right hand traffic. At 0450 all traffic stopped and everyone parked to
the left. over the next ten minutes everyone (directed by police) carefully move to the opposite side of the road, and at 0500 on all
radiostations the new law was proclaimed. It was actually a lot of preparations since car headlights are offset to the side, so all cars
had had to have their headlights reset, and partially covered with stickers that were removed after the change. And all traffic signs
had to be moved, and so forth.

People, don't feed the troll...it wants "proof" from an incident that occurred over nearly 50 years ago, clearly the terror in the
children's eyes is not enough. It could have been acid, could have been water, who knows, but the point was to terrorize and
frighten them and thats why its such a powerful photo.

I think the one of the mom supposedly with sign for sale of kids is a fraud. Do you really think that mom had the means to get a
sign, paint it, and plant it, let alone she could read and write?

It's a real photo. There was recently an article following up on it. The kids were adopted out, then she had more children
(she was pregnant at the time the photo was taken). :( I'm afraid I don't have a link to the recent article, though.

I continually see the worst hatred in reader comments whenever the subject of race comes up. I don't understand the
need to belittle people of other races or to make excuses for racism amongst one's own people. Grow up and get

In times past people usually attacked people of their own race. For example American Indians only had other
Indian tribes to raid, pillage and rape. In early Africa black folks only had other black folks to attack. In
England the attack might be against the Irish, the Scotch, the French or the Germans or even the Welsh but
those folks are all of the same race. When societies became more racially mixed the attacks often focused on
attacking a different race. In India it was usually attacking people of the other religion. In China it was a
conflict between the snow white Chinese of Manchuria and the slightly more tanned Chinese of the southern
parts of China and every now and then a battle with the Japanese. To us in the west those folks seem to be of
the same race but not to them at all.

The hotelier's name was James Brock. The photo was taken in St. Augustine, FL during a protest organized by Dr. King.
Brock himself is the one who said he was pouring acid into the pool to get the protesters out. All easily verifiable information.

Thanks! I was wondering why he let them in the pool in the first place.
color. but that they were illegally trespassing his pool reserved for paying customers.
couldn't actually be paying customer. Still there were better forms of protest and your explanan makes him slightly
less criminal.

In the 1950s there were barber shops in Ft. Lauderdale that had signs saying no niggers or Indians allowed. And Ft.
Lauderdale was probably less racist than most other towns in the US. Meanwhile the top hotels on Miami beach
would not rent a room to a Jew nor a Cuban. Things were so screwed up that it was hard to even know who you
were supposed to hate.

I think you got a hold of some older information. During WWII there were huge numbers of sailors in
Newport News, Va.. Some locals got frustrated at sailors on their lawns and posted signs saying no dogs or
sailors allowed on lawn. It is quite odd that despite the patriotism of the hour that there were times when the
public turned against the war effort even while our soldiers were dieing in large numbers.
