PHILADELPHIA PENNSYLVANIA (NOT MISSISSIPPI)
More than 60 young black children from Philadelphia were turned away from a private swim club where their organization had paid to swim as part of summer camp. The explanation they got was either dishearteningly honest or poorly worded: "There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion … and the atmosphere of the club," John Duesler, President of The Valley Swim Club said in a statement.
