On 7 October 1955, jazz legend Ella Fitzgerald was arrested after performing an integrated concert.
In an attempt to keep her tour free from discrimination, her manager, Norman Granz, had removed the 'Negro' and 'White' labels from the bathroom doors.
However, Houston had a history of being extremely conservative, so their attempt to integrate the show ended in police storming her dressing room.
Fitzgerald, Gillespie and other musicians were treated as criminals.
