Mazzoni’s desegregated earlier than other restaurants, but like the rest of Louisville it was in its earlier days for whites only. And women, by the way, didn’t gain the right to drink at Louisville’s bars until the early 1970s. I well remember accompanying a group of women from the newspaper, including the legendary editor Carol Sutton, to Mazzoni’s at noon after the Board of Aldermen approved the ordinance allowing women to stand at the bar and drink like men. Carol took pleasure…
