My personal comment
Through the "Jim Crow" Laws, almost everything had been seperated into "For Whites" and "For Colored"
....from Theaters, to Schools, Churches, public transport, restaurants - even restrooms and drinking fountains; everything was seperated.
"We won't go to school with Negros" - this statement, which would shock nearly everybody today, was very common during and after the times of segregation.
Before segregation: Slaves in chains, forced to work for White American plantage owners.
