Description: |
Signs indicating separate or exclusive facilities for white and black people were found in public spaces throughout the southern United States through the mid 1960s. The letters “L & N” at the bottom of this piece refer to the Louisville & Nashville railroad, where such a sign might have hung in the waiting room. |
