Black History Month: Jim Crow Coca-Cola vending machine

The Jim Crow era in the U.S. was not only a period of great hatred it was also a time when racists showed their true stupidity for the world to see. Case in point are Jim Crow segregated soda vending machines. Notice in the photo above the "Whites Customers Only" painted on the machine.

They also made double-sided coke vending machines where Whites would buy cokes from one side and Black people from the other side.
