Lennie Bluett was a Black extra on Gone With The Wind. When he arrived on set in 1938, he discovered that bathrooms were segregated by "White" and "Colored." Enraged, Bluett went directly to Clark Gable - whom he did not know - and told him about the situation.

According to an interview with Bluett, Gable was livid. He called up the film's director Victor Fleming and said, "If you don’t get those goddamned signs down now, you don’t have a Rhett Butler!"

Gable's disgust with segregation did not end after the movie wrapped, either. The film was scheduled to premiere at a segregated theater in Atlanta, and rather than deal with the logistics of Black actors who had no bathrooms or dressing rooms, the studio simply did not invite them to attend. Gable threatened to boycott the premiere, but his Black co-star, Hattie McDaniel, told him to go anyway

The Pentagon was built with extra bathrooms to accommodate racial segregation laws.
