Segregation Economy Highlights Costs to Southern Business
The article notes rising costs from segregation as a growing factor in Southern commerce. It cites duplicated facilities, site rejection due to white opposition to Black workers, and foregone convention revenue. Negro consumers and laborers form a large share of the Southern market, with substantial minority populations in many counties. The piece argues business awareness of segregation’s economic impact could influence broader integration, echoing a commercial age quip about pocketbook effects.
