I can't fathom such deep racial divisions but my mom definitely can. I'd say I've had a pretty sheltered life.
We're going to see the movie on Wednesday. I loved the book Plan to read it again - soon.

Elyse - when I lived in Norfolk, Virginia, 1963-64, I worked at a Catholic Hospital. Peds and Ob was not segregated, but the adult Med-Surg unit was. I was aghast, but the Nuns said it was because of the patients, not hospital policy. I also noted the separate restrooms and bubblers (water fountains) around the city. I was not used to this, having been raised in New England.
