I have to disagree that passing laws isn't very effective in preventing or reducing discrimination.

I think when businesses realized (and public school boards -- who lately are getting sued a lot due to discriminations against LGBT students) that they can be CHARGED by the federal government, as well SUED by the consumer, due to existing legislation, it makes a very large impact!

Do we see any more signs that say whites only?

If a business did that today they would be charged and sued -- EVEN if the owner's personal beliefs didn't approve of different races mingling.

I think laws were and are necessary to prevent this kind of discrimination.
