The fund challenged various state laws requiring segregated travel in buses and
trains. Suits contended that separate quarters were not equal and also raised
jurisdictional questions. The Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) was eventually
vested with the authority to revoke segregation when it impeded interstate
commerce, and cases involving segregation on interstate trains and buses were
thereafter heard by the ICC. Local transit authorities, mainly city bus and
street-car systems, continued to be challenged in the courts. |
