The Story
The story I posted above is about the Philadelphia swim club who refused to allow black children to swim in their swimming pool. This story particularly disturbed me because how could people deny small children their right to swim in a pool because of their skin color! The rights of the children have been violated in such a disturbing way and I can not believe how cruel people can be!

This is terrible! Just as the article said, you would expect something like this to be taking place in 1965 during the civil rights movement, not now in 2009. Now these littles children are questioning themselves and their skin color. But I did read in an online artcle that Tyler Perry, the actor/playwright, had heard about the incident and was going to sponsor an all expense paid trip for the 65 children to go to Disney World. I felt like that was a good gesture - just to show the kids that for every group of people that are trying to hurt you or tear you down, there is another group trying to help you!
