Footage shows black kids swimming in a pool in the 1960s. 

Group of black boys line the edge of a pool and dive in. Black passersby stand behind a fence, watching the kids swim. Girl swimmers wear white swim caps. Clothes and towels of the swimmers hang from the fence that borders the pool. A young white man with glasses - perhaps an instructor or teacher - talks to the black kids who congregate around the man.
