Question about history...?
It's September, 1963. I go to a nightclub to relax.
When I walk in, would I see Blacks and whites dancing and drinking, or would I only see whites OR blacks, dancing and having fun?
I'm watching a show that is set in 1963 and it has our races mixing. Is this historically correct or not?
It would have been Chicago, IL. At least, this is where it was set.
I don't remember any social mixing except in private parties and informal groups until the 1970s, and really not until the late 70's. Not that my small town had that large of a diversity then, or even today.

That looks like P.C. revisionism. There might have been racial mixing but it wasn't normal. Even today it isn't common in most places. By nature all animals generally associate only with their family members and not even with others much like themselves.
Source(s): For decades I studied philosophies, cultures, and social institutions. I began that because of confusion resulting from my military experience under the shadow of neo-Marxist anti-military and anti-capitalism indoctrination in the universities. I continue a forty year quest looking for some truth in the pile of stinking crap a wide variety of bigots made by blaming people or practices they don't like while excusing people or practices they do like regardless of where the fault really lies. - ?Lv 77 years ago
It depends where you lived. In what state. And although there were no jim crow laws in the north, there was social pressure about races not mixing. It may have been somewhat okay for a white man to marry a woman of colour if she was exeptionally beautiful, but it would have meant severe social discrimination for a white woman to marry a afro american man let alone have children with him.

It would depend on the type of club. A Jazz club would be particularly likely to have mixed membership I woukd have thought, since so many jazz musicians are black, and lots of white people like jazz.
