DEFINITION 2
Motel owner Jimmy Brock realises as he is working in his office that
there are 3 black people in his pool ch anting. Without thinking, he
grabs some muriatic acid and as reve aled by the photo he starts
dumping it into the pool filled by black and white people. While
Brock was pouring the acid into the p ool, he delivered the
protesters this message - " hopefully this muriatic acid gets you
out of here". Muriatic acid is a very da ngerous chemical used for
cleaning pool surfaces and in all of the madness, the only thing
the protesters heard was acid.

screaming and calling help which lead to this photo being

was to great to that as long as they stayed in the centre, the
water was fine.

DEFINITION 5
This photo has been cropped down so it just shows Jimmy
Brock pouring acid into the pool and the protesters and how
they are reacting to the situation. Due to the fact that this
photo has been cropped down, this photo is missing the
remaining part of the pool and possibly other people in the
pool who weren't protesting.
