...Casablan, dealing with the social and psychological integration of the country's peculiarly heterogeneous immigrants-in this case a Moroccan immigrant's efforts to find a place in a new Jewish society.

A car pool would provide non-Jim Crow transportation. But the Negroes would still have been barred from most hotels and restaurants in Houston, would have to use separate toilet facilities, and would have to occupy special seats in public vehicles...
