HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Activists in North Carolina are calling for change after Mexican women and their families were reportedly escorted out of a pool for playing music in Spanish.

The News & Observer reports that members of the families gathered outside of the state Capitol on Saturday to speak about the incident at the Flex Fitness and Recreation Center pool in Hendersonville. Veronica Ramirez, Bella Perez and others were at the pool July 12 when an employee tried to disconnect their speaker.

Ramirez’s niece says white women at the pool complained about the music and staff tried to take the speaker without communicating, then called police to remove them.
