Access to water for fun isn’t a privilege, and learning how to swim is a basic life skill. Both were denied to Black Americans through centuries of slavery and discrimination. That legacy is the focus of a daring new exhibit: POOL: A Social History of Segregation which opens Sept. 3, at the Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center and runs through August 2022. Today we’ll speak to the curator of the exhibit, artist and avid swimmer Victoria Prizzia, about this amazing presentation on Black achievements, struggles, and hopes for the future in aquatics.
