Description
This article responds to a prediction in The Springfield Republican (a newspaper in Massachusetts) that segregated public transportation in the South would not succeed due to economic pressures: "The Republican takes the position that the separation of the races will be found unprofitable and will therefore be discontinued, but we do not apprehend anything of the kind. The feeling against indiscriminate mixing of the races in public conveyances is much more intense now than it was twenty years ago, and so far from diminishing it grows...The separation of the races in the street cars in Montgomery is bound to come. We do not yet know what influences will cause the change to be made, but feel sure that the right chord will be touched some day, and the management will be forced to adopt a regulation demanded by the people, or give place to those who will."
