The movement to prevent this practice gained steam after the People's Grocery incident involving Thomas Moss, which occurred in a neighborhood called the Curve. One legislative attempt to curb this practice was a bill sponsored by Colorado Senator Edward Costigan and New York Senator Robert Wagner, which was introduced a second time after a case involving Claude Neal, but still failed to pass.

Several studies on this practice, such as The Red Record, were released by Ida Wells
