LAWRENCE PUBLIC SCHOOLS WAR.


LAWRENCE, KAN, Nov. 81, 1891
The following are the facts touch
ing upon the trouble caused here by
discrimination against the colored
people: The schools being too full,
the school board dctermened to put
part OF the scholars in the old part Of
The A. NJ. E. church, and by all being
colored, caused the colored people of
Lawrence TO hold an Indignation
meeting, as it was called. Being pres
ent | jOrted down the following res
olutions which were adopted by that
body:
WHEREAS, BY the statutes of Kan
sas all children, retrospective of race,
color or previous servitude," are per-
mitted to enjoy all rights and privil-
eges Of education, and
WHEREAS, For sometime an effort
seems to have been made on the part
Of the superintendent and the school
board of Lawrence 10 discriminate
against the colOred citizens of Law
renee, as race, by separating their
children from the white, thereby
causing them to 60 ont of their way
and putting them to Inconvenience so
as 10 injure their health, and
WHEREAS, The discrimination is un-
just, uncalled for, and in contraven-
ton to The letter and spirit of the law
Of the great state Of Kansas, therefore,
ReSOtUed, That we, The colored peo-
pie Of Lawrence, emphatically protest
against the wrongs to which our
children are subjected; and that we
earnestly request the superintendent
and school board 10 do away with
these socal.ed separate colored schools,
and see hereafter The pupils, properly
graded, to go TO the district in which
they live.
A committee of three was appointed
to put it i'm the hands of all attorney.
The salaries paid to the colored
teachers and janitors of mixed schools
is $29S5 year.
The A. NJ. E. church gave a novel
entertainment Thursday, Nov. 10, in
the visit of Queen of Sheba to King
Solomon. An excellent musical pro-
gram was rendered. This proved a
success TO the church.
