I grew up in Texas during Jim Crow.  During that time going on long-distance road trips had a distinct flavor for Blacks and I remember it vividly - the packing enough food for the entire trip (no restaurants), the using the bathroom on the side of the road (no gas station bathrooms), the sleeping in the car on the side of the road (no motels). But my most vivid memory of my road trips in Texas was the sign I read every time we went through Greenville, Texas -

The Blackest Land,
The Whitest People

In many ways, institutional discrimination in law schools is really about maintaining the legal profession as "The Whitest Profession".
