In the early 1920s, before he became an icon of the American songbook, composer
Cole Porter <http://www.npr.org/artists/103165585/cole-porter> wrote the score
for a protest ballet. The production, called Within the Quota, criticized
restrictive immigration laws that had been passed by Congress. According to
Princeton music professor Simon Morrison, who rediscovered the score two years

backlash against Polish, Greek and Australian immigrants arriving in the U.S.
after World War I.
