Cracker Barrel yesterday settled a civil rights lawsuit brought by the Department of Justice on behalf of African-American patrons across the South. It seems that in keeping with its "old country store" theme, several stores practiced racial segregation, dumping blacks into "ghettos" apart from other customers. Servers were allowed to switch with each other to avoid serving black customers. Cracker Barrel, of course, denies any wrongdoing. And this after we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Brown?
