Description:: Text on reverse: "News release: NEGRO SWIMMING PERMISSION INCITES RIOT.... St. Louis, Mo. A group of white youths shown crowding around a negro who already has been attacked. Two feet are shown extended as if to kick the negro to the ground. A baseball bat belonging to one of the youths is also visible. (When Negroes attempted in 1949 to enter St. Louis' municipally-owned Fairground Park swimming pool they were kicked and beaten by mobs of white youths armed with baseball bats.)" Stetson Kennedy (1916-2011), writer and civil rights activist, collected these photographs during the course of his career fighting for equality throughout the Southern United States.
