Good for your dad, but not the case elsewhere in the south. Big cases were with motels and eateries along the highways. Do you deny the four little girls were blown up in church or that that schwerner chaney and goodman were shot dead in MS. or medgar evers?? or MLK in a garbage strike in Memphis.... You aint younger than me the way it counts. Your brain operates like that of an old man with a closed mind.

"Even today there are a few businesses that continue to be substantially segregated (e.g., funeral homes). It isn't out of racism, however."

Yes it is. When my grandfather died, the funeral home (in East Texas) tried to cheat my mom. She threatened to go to the black funeral home. The "white" funeral home dropped the price! My mom wasn't making an idle threat.
