Title
A rectangular placard reads "More blacks, more dogs, more Irish"
Description
The phrase 'More black, more dogs, more Irish' reclaims a racist sign that was widely seen as a familiar trope during the 1960's, along with signs that read 'No Irish Need Apply'. The first adaptation of 'No black, no dogs, and no Irish' was by Irish-Jamaican couple, Richard O’Gorman and Taurayne McKen, which are now sold online.
