Black Codes

Famous quotes containing the words black and/or codes:

“But who would rush at a benighted man,
And give him two black eyes for being blind?”
—Thomas Hood (1799–1845)

“... 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–?)
