A new exhibition about the history of segregation in American public pools has re-opened at the Fairmount Waterworks in Philadelphia, five months after it was completely submerged by Hurricane Ida floodwaters.

WHYY's Peter Crimmins reports the show, called POOL, had to close down on its opening day last September.
