Growing up in the 50's and 60's, I remember segregation very well. I had no clue what it was about, it just was. I'm sorry.Unfortunately, I remember not being able to be served or sit at them, when I was around 10 years old -

I can't imagine.
The only thing I remember of anything like that when I was a kid about 5 was going into a Woolworth or WT GRants or one of those places and there being two water fountains, one labeled 'white' and the other 'colored'. I had no idea at the time what it was even talking about. I just remember not being able to figure it out at the time.

I don't recall seeing any of that firsthand but perhaps it was because I was in the North. I was curious when it ended and I found a couple of interesting stories about Woolworth and their counter policy.
