So Martin luther King and other blacks should have kept quiet and moved on after being denied accommodation by white racist hotel owners because the management had a right of admission?
Do you let everybody in your house?
My house is a private property. The hotel on the other hand is a public facility whose proprietors sought a license from the authorities and were subsequently offered one to offer accommodation and food/drinks to members of the public for a fee. You cannot thus deny a member of the public who has paid and has behaved reasonably like any citizen as envisaged by the terms of the said licence given to operate the hotel.
Also no hotel is expected to discriminate any individual in terms of race, tribe, gender, marital status etc.
Hotels, restaurants and clubs are private enterprises and are well within their rights to formulate their regulations. It is argued by them that they are catering to a particular section or class of society and as such entry of someone not falling within that bracket may cause inconvenience or discomfort to the other guests.
