Inweekly is interested in talking to people who remember the “colored” swimming pool at Bruce Beach. If you look at the construction documents closely -slightly right of the center, you can see the note regarding an abandoned concrete swimming pool on the edge of the mitigation area.
I spoke with Commissioner Lumon May who said his father led the fight to close and fill in the pool after several African-Americans drowned at the city facility.
If you remember the pool and have any details about the drownings at the facility, please email me at rick@inweekly.net.
