Evidence
BACK TO NOTE REFERENCE 99 “Historian Olen Cole Jr. tells how the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s tried to locate a company of African American workers in a large park that bordered Burbank and Glendale. Both cities refused; the reason given was an ‘old ordinance of the cities of Burbank and Glendale which prohibited Negroes from remaining inside municipal limits after sun down.’ ” Loewen, Sundown Towns, 100. — Dorothy A. Brown, Getting to Reparations, 956
