What shall I say? This is Black Codes and I'll be dropping some interesting information on you - to stir the juices in your cerebrum and help you think about intersections of history, life, culture....you get the picture. Much to throw down here. Check it: some of you cut your history classes back in the day and missed this and probably this other nugget your harried professor determined wasn't that important any way. To understand Black Codes is to become intimately familiar with the totality of African life in the world...and to speak honestly about where we are in that very world. Holla!
