Its not just that the culture and expectations of people have changed, although that is a huge chunk of it. Its also that 50 years ago there where laws requiring bigoted discrimination by businesses in certain places or situations. Even then a number of businesses had to be forced to discriminate, because the discrimination cost them money.

Even if the civil rights laws were modified there is just about 0% chance of the return of the Jim Crow laws.
