==1994 Monson Motor lodge protests== | |||
The protests began when Brock had civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr arrested for trespass after he attempted to be served at the Monson Motor Lodge, a hotel owned by Brock. During the protests, a group of black and white activists jumped into the pool and Brock poured acid into the pool so they would get out. The protesters were then arrested. | |||
Eventually, Brock was forced to integrate and desegregate the hotel. In revenge, the [[Ku Klux Klan]] firebombed the hotel. | |||
