A big swimming pool, used for swimming classes and a swimming team, a part of the physical education program for years, but since there were objections from some of the white kids' parents who were employers of the black kids' parents—the ones working as maids and housemen and chauffeurs and gardeners and yardmen —the pool was drained and covered over.
Era una gran piscina, utilizada para las clases de natación y las prácticas de un equipo de natación, parte del programa de educación física durante años, pero como hubo objeciones por parte de algunos padres de los chicos blancos para quienes trabajaban los padres de los chicos negros, los que trabajaban como criados, chóferes y jardineros, vaciaron la piscina y la cubrieron de tierra.
