Civil rights-a review

I recently listened to an interesting podcast on Witness History, talking about an event that shocked many people in the 60'.
On 18th June 1964, on a motel in St Augustine, a group of black activists jumped into a pool reserved only to white people, not knowing the terrible fate waiting for them. It all started with one of the most relevant figure in the movement of BLM, Martin Luther King. As known, the life of black people in Florida wasn't good at all: they were discriminated and treated like animals, without respect. Many people coundn't stand this anymore, so they managed to organise a protest with the help of Martin Luther King, that would hopefully change something.
Only some days later the plan was acted. A very large group of activists jumped in the pool reserved only to white people, creating a huge chaos. The manager was informed, and tried to stop them, but they wouldn't listen, so he took a fatal decision: he started pouring two large bowls of acid in the pool. The terror was scatenated, everyone was moving around screaming for help. The police arrived and jumped in the pool to save who wasn't able to escape, and managed to make sure no one died.
From my perspective, this is one of the most terrible side of history, but this doesn't justify the fact that everyone has forgotten this day. I would like to spread more awareness about this topic, so I suggest everyone to listen to this podcast and reflect about this event.

A small Italian slip up haha? What did you want to say by "scatenated"?
