 @7750d787 @19cbfccb What did you use to make the chart? 
 @1a4328b2 @19cbfccb 
Excel, and the data sources I listed in the subtitle.  I interpolated through the gaps in data, and cut it off at 1900.  Oh I also used population data from the Penn Libraries statistics to calculate the rates for the older data.
It's not that great, but I originally made it just for myself... 
 @7750d787 @19cbfccb I understand the impulse and I do things like that, too. 
 @1a4328b2 @7750d787 @19cbfccb  So what happened in 1962-1964? The civil rights act?
