There were eighteen elementary schools for whites and four for blacks. There was one colored hotel, the dunbar, and all the rest were for whites. Almost no restaurants downtown served colored customers. Before the second world war, a number of the better beaneries in town had a sign in the window reading: "negroes and mexicans served in sacks only", meaning they could take out food in bags but not eat on the premises. One movie theater in town admitted colored people to its balcony. Another, called the apex, was for colored only. The other five movies houses were for whites only. The swimming pool at gage park was off-limits to colored, except one day a year when they were allowed in for a gala picnic.
