Too many threads with this, Desh. Try to stick to one so people can have a conversation. This scattershot method only serves to help you pretend to be "victorious" because people don't like repeating the same thing over and over in multiple threads.

My guess would be late 50's early 60's given that would be when he was in high school/college and there after.
Now... what Jim Crowe laws existed in LA at that time Desh? What Jim Crowe laws existed for the part of LA that he grew up in?

his book, Happy, Happy, Happy, Robertson recalls that "It was the 1950s when I was a young boy, but we lived like it was the 1850s... but we were always happy, happy, happy no matter the circumstances."[

Blacks were as poor as whites and they got along until you white leftists told them they needed govt to make their lives better. They aren't better. Every black ghetto is in a big liberal city. How do you account for that.

The Civil Rights Movement
A growing group of Americans spoke out against inequality and injustice during the 1950s. African Americans had been fighting against racial discrimination for centuries; during the 1950s, however, the struggle against racism and segregation entered the mainstream of American life. For example, in 1954, in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case, the Supreme Court declared that “separate educational facilities” for black children were “inherently unequal.” This ruling was the first nail in Jim Crow’s coffin.
Many Southern whites resisted the Brown ruling. They withdrew their children from public schools and enrolled them in all-white “segregation academies,” and they used violence and intimidation to prevent blacks from asserting their rights. In 1956, more than 100 Southern congressmen even signed a “Southern Manifesto” declaring that they would do all they could to defend segregation.
Despite these efforts, a new movement was born. In December 1955, a Montgomery activist named Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give her seat on a city bus to a white person. Her arrest sparked a 13-month boycott of the city’s buses by its black citizens, which only ended when the bus companies stopped discriminating against African American passengers. Acts of “nonviolent resistance” like the boycott helped shape the civil rights movement of the next decade.
