Here is the sub-headline:

The Sears catalog revolutionized rural black southerners' shopping patterns in the late 19th century, allowing them to avoid the blatant racism that they faced at small country stores.

A fascinating story about how Sears and Roebuck helped penetrate the wall of Segregation in the Deep South in the Kate Ninteenth Century.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
