RACIAL INTEGRATION has not had much in the way of policy-driven financial incentives,
though the free market provides very strong incentives. Here's an example I like,

Not a bad idea for getting people in general to one's church services.

Shreveport, La., pastor Fred Caldwell wants to
integrate his predominantly black Greenwood Acres Full Gospel Baptist Church. So much so
that he's offering white persons $5 an hour to attend Sunday services and $10 an
hour for Thursday night services. "God wants a rainbow in His church," said
the pastor. On Aug. 3, between 30 and 50 whites showed up for Sunday services. Only five
asked for the money.
