Yeah, I couldn't find any explicit support for the claim in the title, either. It's known that the industry as a whole was largely segregated at the time, in that most establishments had some kind of "policy" in regard to admitting non-whites -- state or unstated. To an extent such that there were numerous guides published for Black travelers showing where they could stop for the night, just to stay on the safe side. But still - the title makes a rather bold claim, and I don't see any support for it in the book itself.
