IIRC If florida or any other state wants to allow their hotels and motels to discriminate based upon race, the can but will not recieve any of the federal to state funding for their raodways, etc.

Wrong again, black poepl had their own nationwide chains before desegregatio, own baseball league which made more revenue than the majors, own everything. that is no way to run a country though, that is stupid. Small government is another way of saying sepearation. Funny how they want to seperate after black people made this country rich from hard labor. Wasn't no talk about sepeartion while they were making all those windfall profits selling Europe things that are not European like cotton, sugar, etc. Keep local will Balkanize this country.

Correct me if I'm wrong here. Are you saying that the Negro League was preferred by black people? That they preferred to have their own league than play in the major leagues?

Not saying that. Just saying that before the majors were integrated there was a Negro league , there were black hotel chains, etc. So to say a black person couldn't get a hotel on I-95 is a stretch to say the least. (That is no way to run a country though) is waht I said as my point after that.

More often than not, black Americans in the early 1960s had to rely on rented rooms in private homes or the hospitality of friends if they were to travel far from their home. Hotels and motels dotted along highways and in towns provided comfortable accommodations for white Americans but black Americans had no access to these establishments.

Justice Clark wrote that in researching Congress' debate over the Civil Rights Act of 1964 the evidence was clear the difficulties black Americans encountered in their attempts to find accommodations "had the effect of discouraging travel on the part of a substantial [large] portion of the Negro community." The evidence was "overwhelming . . . that discrimination by hotels and motels impedes [interferes with] interstate travel" and, therefore, obstructs interstate commerce.

Heart of Atlanta Motel v. United States: Supreme Court Drama

It appears the case is from Georgia going by the hotels name of "heart of atlanta" but I could have sworn and still do believe it was a florida state case.

This link isnt the SC opinion but a synopsis.

If anyone is interested in learning alil about the long stretching and evolving powers of the interstate commerce clause and how it effects state rights vs federal powers, this case synopsis provides a quick, to the point summary which is a helpful and proper starting point for such discussions.

if you ever wondered how the fed gov't can enforce it's will and sense of fairness upon individual states, this is the tool they use.

Let's be realistic. From what I have been taught, and hotels were a major issue. That one of the things lost by the black community to desegeration was black owned nationwide hotel chains. They went out of business after desegregation. Plus, if you pay attention to I-95 it goes up and down the coasts of NC, SC, and Florida. There are plenty of predominantly black areas up and down this highway. Will come with a link after lunch.
