Talk:Segregation

This article still needs a ton of work, but I wanted to get it started. Please add what you can. — admin • talk  18:56, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

By the way, there's a slight discrepancy regarding streetcar dates. This source says the Avery law & subsequent boycotts occurred in 1905, but in the streetcar system article we have Stone & Webster taking over the system in 1906. — admin • talk  18:59, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

According to page 36 of the company-published Stone & Webster Public Service Journal from July-December 1907 (which is incidentally a nice little passage detailing Pensacola and the state of the rail system at the time):

It is here that Stone & Webster saw a good field, and in May, 1906, they purchased the railway and lighting properties.

Hmm... It's possible they were looking into purchasing the utility in 1905, thus the report. Could the boycott have killedthe Pensacola Electric Terminal Railway Company? I may buy that book (instead of just using the limited preview on Google) and check the dates of the primary sources. — admin • talk  12:09, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh now I see. Stone & Webster had been assisting the PETRC. They must have taken over full control in '06. — admin • talk  12:48, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
