I'm no historian -- and I am too young to have been in the South in the '50s to know from personal experience -- but I remember seeing a Discovery or PBS show on segregation several years ago that suggested that it wasn't all that cut and dry as our stereotype of it makes it out to be. There were towns in the south that were fully integrated and lunch counters where all could eat without discrimination...that's why the ones that WERE segregated had signs saying "no colored's" or something to that effect...if they were ALL segregated, there wouldn't be a need for signs... So maybe 10% or 50% or 90% of all restaurants along that highway were integrated. Does anyone with any expertise or authority on the matter have an idea?
