I've been very reluctant to model some of the Jim Crow items that I'd like to. The Hebard Cyrpess Company had camp houses for both races, as well as cars. All of it was segregated. Foolish and racist, yes, but a historical fact none the less.
Should I model these and be bold? Or just forget about it?
Would you be offended if you came over an saw them? Or would you see it as a historical truth?
Your opinion much appreciated! Post your comments below.

History of Logging In the Swamp - Hebard Cypress Company & South Georgia Cypress
Here is some of the Hebard Cypress Company's rolling stock:
Ware County, ca. 1913-1919. The "One spot" (second largest engine) ran alternate with the "Seven Spot" (largest engine) on the main line from Hebardville to Hopkins. Both engines were too large to run on the piling track that ran onto Billy's Island."--from field notes
