Sam Spade dictates a letter through Effie to John M. Lawless, a known gangster who hired Sam Spade yesterday. The subject was Joe Moralis.

They show that battles over the franchise have played out through cycles of emancipatory politics and conservative retrenchment. When race has been used as an instrument of exclusion from political life, the result has been a society in which vast numbers of Americans are denied the elements of meaningful freedom: a good job, a good education, good health, and a good home.
