Civil Rights Map of America, 1949
This 1949 map divides the states into three major categories: states with "discrimination for race or color forbidden by law;" states with "segregation of white and colored enforced by law (or permitted);" and states with "no legislation" related to civil rights. The map further describes the types of discrimination allowed in each state: "travel, hotels, resorts, theaters, public schools, state and private colleges, private and public employment, civil service, health and welfare facilities, insurance," and "public or state-aided housing." |
