>>17775334 (OP)This is how it was done most of the time. Look at Palo Alto vs East Palo Alto. Los Angeles vs Compton. Evanston vs Chicago. Philadelphia vs Camden. Brooklyn vs Queens. Almost all American cities that could keep the blacks and catholics out into separate cities did so, because white Protestant people didn't want to live around them. Segregation happened because despite this, whites and blacks could go into others' neighborhoods. It wasn't Apartheid. Therefore, a white business in a white area needed a separate door for irish, mexicans and negroes while a black business in a black area often had a better bathroom for white people as they'd spend more money.
For schools, school districts were usually created separate from city/county boundaries therefore segregation didn't take those boundaries into account unless cities cut themselves out of a larger school district. When this began happening after the civil rights act passed, several state forcibly enlarged some cities (notably St. Louis and Memphis) to integrate the schools, causing all the white people to sell their homes and get out. This also happened in NYC when the city consolidated into one entity.
For transportation, all places of importance had separate black/white platforms except airports (as black people couldn't afford them). Deviation from this meant an ass kicking from the conductor, and then in the 50s most of the passenger trains stopped eliminating this problem. The buses continued running, and this is where the first integration attempts began. It ended with the alabama bus burnings, which continued until the civil rights act passed.
