In addition to the public schools, segregation existed in the United States in the military up until 1947. In the Democratic controlled [[The South|South]] and [[federal government]] it existed in public accommodations like restrooms, drinking fountains, cafaterias, movie theaters, buses, trains and hotels before the federal government reversed itself and banned it with the [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]].
