{"exhibit":{"title":"Was the Mall ever segregated?","description":"<p>From the 1890s to the 1960s, segregation was a reality for Americans of color. In Washington, DC many schools, restaurants, hotels, and public facilities were segregated by race. During this time, segregation policies changed in the city with each presidential administration, but the grounds and museums on the Mall remained integrated. Segregation persisted for some social and recreational activities across the city, making the Mall a battleground over integration. \u00a0<\/p>","credits":"","featured":0,"public":1,"theme":"","theme_options":null,"slug":"wasthemallsegregated","added":"2013-09-20 09:54:34","modified":"2014-08-20 14:39:09","owner_id":6,"use_summary_page":1,"cover_image_file_id":null,"id":49},"item":{"item_type_id":14,"collection_id":null,"featured":0,"public":1,"added":"2013-09-20 10:20:28","modified":"2014-06-04 11:22:05","owner_id":6,"id":427}}
