Deeds have restrictive covenants. Property was not to be sold to blacks.
The public schools had no blacks at least between 1954-1966.
***
Clarksville, IN, expelled its blacks, maybe around 1905? Also that Utica and Sellersburg had no blacks, perhaps in the aftermath of a lynching in Sellersburg around 1895?
