In the 60's, one of my family members was in the military, posted in the South.  His mother and brother drove there to visit him.  Passing through Alabama, they were refused service at a restaurant (they were allowed to get food 'to go'), and told to not even try to get a motel room "just keep drivin'".  Why? They had California license plates, and no-one wanted n*****-lovers in town.
