Blue Laws and Black Codes: Conflict, Courts, and Change in Twentieth-century Virginia
Peter Wallenstein
Due largely to court rulings, stores in Virginia are no longer required by ""blue laws"" to close on Sundays. Particularly notable was the abolition of segregation laws, or ""black codes"". This title shows how people pushed for changes in the laws under which they live, love, work, vote, study, and shop - in Virginia, the South, and the nation.
