“As African Americans fought for desegregation in the 1950s, public pools became frequent battlefields.”

What’s that got to do with interlopers at a private community pool where they are not residents?

I recently saw a photo from a series of images on civil rights battles against segregation in the ‘South’ (part of the title). A couple of the images were of a public pool in Illinois that had been made ‘members only’ to circumvent desegregation. First time I heard that Illinois is part of the South.
