David Isom disobeyed Florida pool racist rules

66

years ago

08 June 1958,

David Isom disobeyed the racist rules of the Florida pool. At the time of racial segregation, in the pool area whites and blacks were separated by a line, while whites were remarkably better. Isomek, 19, crossed the color line and swam in the white area. He then indicated that swimming in an orderly pool should not be a privilege, but a right, which found a peaceful atmosphere. Those responsible closed the pool because “a black man used the facilities” and remained closed for four years.
