Additional Details

first and only edition of one of the last of this sort of guide. Following the Civil Rights movement of the late 1950s and 1960s and legally-enforced integration, hotels and motels were "officially" open to people of all colors and hues. However, many people still chose to stay in places where they felt comfortable.
