A South Texas town has abolished an anti-Hispanic segregation law more than seven decades after it was enacted.
The Board of Aldermen unanimously voted Monday to abolish an ordinance that banned “Spanish or Mexican” residents who were not servants or maids from occupying “any building on the American side or portion” of the once-divided town of Edcouch.”*
