The Golden Vertical Integration Plan. Mid 20th century essayist, Harry Golden, contended that the South was always integrated.

They took out the tables and chairs and build a shelf around the room, where customers could place their food while standing there eating and facing a blank wall. It worked and the customers never noticed. One exception – Nieman Marcus had always been integrated.
