Black Codes

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or codes:

“All your ages
Matt and glossy on the thick black pages!”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1985)

“... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
