Paul McCartney Reminiscences on Beatles Refusing to Play for Segregated Audience in 1964

[SNIP]

McCartney went on to reveal that during a trip to the United States in 1964, the Beatles had been scheduled to play a segregated show, which they refused to do.

"In 1964 The Beatles were due to play Jacksonville in the US and we found out that it was going to be to a segregated audience. It felt wrong. We said 'We're not doing that!' and the concert we did do was to their first non-segregated audience," he continued. "We then made sure this was in our contract. To us it seemed like common sense."
