Hello
Please respond to my e-mails
Seems to me that the free market was starting to sort out the discrimination issue... until the government stepped in.

@@Tundramonkey5: it was a privately owned railroad that put Homer up to it, paid for the lawyers etc.
The GOVERNMENT ENFORCED the segregation laws.
How so? What policies did the free market initiate ?

History is like that sometimes
