Years of the 20th century, by the way. Thats whats interesting. The jim crow rules, thats when they came in, when i talked about that transit, the boycotting the Transit System being segregated in mobile. I mean, up until then it was a very different world. Up until then black people could go to the restrooms. Not that they often had the money to go there, but they could go to white restaurants. So that changed.
