Johnson, Patterns of Negro Segregation^ p. 47.
In Atlanta formerly, Negroes not only had to sit In separate sections of the car,
but also had to enter by a different door. With the adoption of the one-man car this
practice was abandoned. According to Johnson {ibid,y p. 50), the one-man car has
reduced friction since there is no confusion as to where to enter and conductors do not
fuss with the seating.

Only in New York and New Jersey do the Civil Rights Acts prohibit racial
segregation in cemeteries. {Ibid,y p. 156.)

There are exceptions: In the first half of 1942, there was a fight to get Negroes
and Orientals into the American educators’ national honor fraternity, Phi Delta Kappa.
After numerous debates, threats of secession, and temporary compromises the fight was
won. Previously, however, even the local chapters could not admit Negroes.

“He [the Negro] feels that it is a libel against his race to say that segregation and
discrimination are necessary to protect the white man’s civilization, the sanctity of his
home, or the integrity of his race. He feels that it is an unwarranted insult both to his
person and to his character to establish that there is any place to which the public is

’^Democracy and Race Friction (1914), pp. 184-185.
“Any one acquainted with southern conditions in the ‘black belt’ today will realise
.that this is no mere possibility, but is to a very large extent a reality. There exist in the
minds of both blacks and whites two conceptions of conduct, recognised as valid in two
different spheres and with little in common. This explains the paradoxical fact that
