Jack Kirby, in his Darkness at the Dawning:  Race and Reform in the Progressive South, discusses briefly a "statewide formula for urban segregation" enacted by the Virginia General Assembly in 1912 (24).  Does anyone have information about the "formula" Kirby is talking about?  Also, he mentioned that several cities drew "racial maps" to mark racial boundaries within the respective city's limits.  Does anyone know if/where I can find these maps (perhaps in the library of Virginia), and if anyone has written specifically on this issue.  Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Best,
Jeremy Boggs
