This is something that always confused me. When segregation of neighborhoods was still a thing, were black people outright banned from entering white neighborhoods? As in, if a black person tried to walk/drive through a white neighborhood, they’d be arrested? Or was it just that black people weren’t allowed to live or own property in those neighborhoods, but could still enter/pass through them? Conversely, were white people banned from either entering or living in black neighborhoods?

No controversy is intended by this question. Thanks.
