Huey: Granddad, will you teach me C.P.R.? Granddad: I don't know C.P.R. Huey: You don't know C.P.R.?! You're raising two young kids. What if something serious happens? Granddad: I tried to learn C.P.R., but they wouldn't let me 'cause....I was black. Huey: What? Granddad: Oh sure, nowadays y'all can learn C.P.R. whenever y'all want. Just go 'round saving lives! Resuscitatin each other willy-nilly! But when I was a young man, it used to be against the law to teach colored folk C.P.R.! Huey: That's not true!!

It probably WAS True in the same places where Teaching black people to Read carried the Death Penalty.
And that Really Was the Law in most of the old South.
