@f4grx@chaos.social @martinvermeer@fediscience.org @CosmickTrigger@social.edist.ro During the USA Civil Rights era in the 1960s, many cities closed public pools, and in some cases filled them with concrete, rather than integrate them. What Fred Rogers is doing here is the exact opposite of bigotry. He is sharing a pool with his black friend at a time when such an action was considered a radical idea. There is no religious symbolism here.
