Racial Bias Outlawed At Ronceverte Pool
Federal Judge John A. Field Jr. ruled that racial discrimination cannot occur at the Ronceverte Swimming Club pool, finding the pool a municipal or quasi municipal operation due to land ownership and the fire department’s status. He noted federal funds used in the WPA era did not justify relief and declined attorney fees or punitive damages.
