Integration was the law, but it was not fully integrated into society. We still had "colored" entrances and water fountains and such.
This was before all the rest of the civil rights acts, and activities.
Johnson was not a president I really admired, but in the area of civil rights legislation, he was an amazing champion - he left the Northern liberals with their mouths catching fly's, on this.
All the more amazing, was that he was from a former Confederate state (Texas).
