That's the way life was. In the 1950's and even into the 1960's race was a particular thing. My home town had a poor black section, poor white section, middle class white section (where I grew up), rich black section and rich white section. Never did the folks from one part of town mingle or work together I.E. all business owners and such were white, cleaning folks were black. We did have some people from Puerto Rico and Cuba but they and black people were field workers.

At Dover AFB 95% of the people were white, cleaning people were black. They had integrated Air Force people but civilians were another matter.

I used to go through the poor areas to the river and bow hunt catfish and give them to the poor families on my way home. It has changed some now in the 21st century with integrated schools and teachers when people finally figured out skin color did not matter on how smart you were!
