I grew up in California and going there and seeing the exhibits were informative for me as I never saw such overt outright racism. Living in California you see the subtle but not obvious bigotry.. That said, I agree with your Mother, no way would I ever set foot in the south again. I even passed up a trip to Arizona earlier this month with my hubby to watch super bowl with his brother in law who is a chump supporter. I didn't feel I could keep my mouth shut in a racists house.
