Thank you for your service and kindness, it was much appreciated. In addition to my gratitude, I would like to share with you the Valley Swim Club. The Valley Swim Club apparently hadn't received the memo, the memo being that it is illegal for any discrimination on basis of race to occur, starting with the 15th Amendment. Well, it didn't stop Valley Swim Club, a swim club in north Philadelphia. A day care, Creative Steps, paid them almost $2,000 for a month's membership so the kids enrolled with them could swim. As soon as Valley found out the kids were African American, they had the kids booted, and the payments were refunded. Blatant racism of this sort is thought to have been on the way out, but apparently not – and Valley Swim Club is going to need a money lender to cover the lawsuit damage.
