<br>
<br>  Imagine "crossing the color line," and then finding out fifty years later
<br>that you "broke the color barrier."
<br>  BREAKING THE SOUND BARRIER is a 1952 film from the late, great David
<br>Lean. "Breaking barriers" took off in the 1950s, although it has not
<br>completely replaced "color line."
<br>  A check of Eureka's Newspaper Abstracts shows 8 "color bar," 36 "color
<br>barrier," and 61 "color line" headlines.
<br>  A "color bar" might be "hurdled."
<br>  A "color barrier" was usually "broken."
<br>  A "color line" was often "crossed." Like the sound barrier, the color
<br>line was often "broken" was well--probably by running faster than you can say
<br>"Jack Robinson."
