For decades the official pages detailing the history of the Montgomery Zoo have cited "racial violence" as the reason the zoo closed in 1960 and stayed closed for eleven years. You can find it in the Zoo "timeline".
That's not true, and the zoo knows it. It closed because if it stayed open, the zoo would have been required to open the zoo to everyone, including black residents.
