So you DID see the movie! One of the most glaring was how the black women purportedly had to walk blocks to use a segregated woman's bathroom...
Did you live or visit the "Deep South" in that time period? That was a fairly accurate representation of life down there at that time.
I had a chance with my family in 1968 to drive from Boston to Biloxi, MS to bring my brother his car while he was in the service. I saw the "Coloreds Only" bathrooms, drinking fountains and all sorts of other marks of segregation, and that was while we were still in North Carolina! I won't comment on Alabama or Mississippi, which made N.C. seem enlightened!
Um, no, I didn't say I did. Reading this thread, I'm not sure I should bother to anyway.
