>>>....the heyday of segregation...

At first, I nodded approvingly. And then I thought, no, we're not being fair here. It was in the 50's, after all, that segregation was seriously challenged for the first time:<<<

Oops, you are right. I stand corrected. The heyday of segregation would have been before WWII.

Though until the end of the sixties there were southern restuarants with Whites Only and Colored Only signs on the two doors leading in. I and two friends did a sit in at one such in a small rural swamp town in North Carolina in 1966 (on the Colored side, of course, since we were white.) The Klan escorted us out of town in their pickup trucks, so it still wasn't over, by a long shot.
