I went all through elementary and high school in Tucson in the 40's and 50's and never heard about the Jim Crow laws in the south. I learned about this firsthand when my plane landed in Atlanta in 1960 and I saw the "white only" and "colored only" restroom and drinking fountain signs in the airport.
