Talk:Gainsboro Branch Library

Why Segregated?
I think many in the United States of a certain age may be able to guess why segregated, but those elsewhere and even younger readers will not (and they really should not have to guess anyway). In particular, were blacks excluded from other libraries by law (Jim Crow law), city policy, or by social custom? Alanscottwalker (talk) 14:38, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the feedback, and I agree with you that it would be helpful to have this information included in the article. While I'm relatively sure it was a Jim Crow law on the books in the city that mandated separate facilities, I haven't yet been able to find a reliable source that says so. I will continue searching and will update the article if and when I find this information. Thanks again. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 15:41, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
