This Week’s Quote: “Segregation was enforced in the South precisely because so many people were opposed to segregation. You don’t pass a law to force people to do what they would do anyway…Without a law mandating segregation, the first white company to hire black workers and serve all customers would have set in motion a train of events that would have made segregation impossible.” —Harry Browne
