Supreme Court Upholds Private Clubs Right to Exclude Negroes
The Supreme Court by a 6 to 3 vote rules private clubs may reject Black guests. Justice Rehnquist writes the lodge’s all white policy does not violate the 14th Amendment since the club merely hosts guests and the state liquor license does not force integration. The decision overturns a 1970 federal court ruling linking liquor regulation to racial exclusion.
