The "club," decided the court, was really a "public accommodation" involved in interstate commerce and was forbidden by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to discriminate against the women. In a lone dissent, Justice Black argued that Lake Nixon was in an isolated spot unlikely to attract any out-of-state travelers.
