Isabel Wilkerson
“It was against the law for a colored person and a white person to play checkers together in Birmingham. White and colored gamblers had to place their bets at separate windows and sit in separate aisles at racetracks in Arkansas. At saloons in Atlanta, the bars were segregated: Whites drank on stools at one end of the bar and blacks on stools at the other end, until the city outlawed even that, resulting in white-only and colored-only saloons. There were white parking spaces and colored parking spaces in the town square in Calhoun City, Mississippi. In one North Carolina courthouse, there was a white Bible and a black Bible to swear to tell the truth on.”
Isabel Wilkerson, The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“Israel had advanced beyond the Jim Crow South and segregated not just the pools and the fountains, but the water itself.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Message
