The racial discrimination was very nasty well into the 1960's (and it's still around). Where I grew up, (upstate N.Y.) people saw color not as a racial issue; anyone could sit anywhere on the bus, eat in any restaurant/diner and you were hired for a job if you had the experience, education, or the smarts. I never did understand why there was discrimination; I still don't.

2. the body politic as organized for civil rule and government (distinguished from church).
3. the operations or activities of a central civil government: affairs of state.
4. (initial capital letter) Also called State Department. Informal. the Department of State.
5. of or pertaining to the central civil government or authority.
