Excerpt from the book Coming Out Under Fire The History Of Gay Men and Women in World War Two: In most parts of the country, hotels and motels, as well as the military bases, were racially segregated, at times making it impossible for black or interracial couples or groups to rent a room. During the Fort Oglethorpe investigation, one WAC testified that she asked a “dyke” from Fort Jackson, South Carolina, if the white and black lesbians were able to mix. “I asked her how they managed there, and I knew they couldn’t go to hotels together… and she told me they would meet in town, get a cab, and go out to this Savoy Inn.” She described the Savoy Inn as a tourist campsite outside Columbia, South Carolina, that allowed both blacks and white customers to rent cabins.
