States Move Toward Public Accommodation Laws
A survey shows 9 states have public accommodation laws similar to Kennedy era civil rights proposals. The North and West push de facto integration, while the South fights phase 1 dismantling laws.

Maryland and New York enact and expand public accommodations rules affecting hotels, restaurants, theaters, and housing. New York's latest amendments broaden coverage to most housing.
