Jim Crow test case on railroad seating heard this week
Georgia Edwards of Nashville tees up a challenge to separate railroad cars for white and black passengers. The interstate commerce commission will hear arguments on whether such segregation violates federal law and whether Georgia, an interstate traveler, faced unjust discrimination on the Western and Atlantic line. The railroads defend no color-based injustice, claiming car policy was justified and seating equal apart from rarity of black travelers. The decision could affect southern rail service and race-based accommodations nationwide.
