| learn that a committee

the Paris Theatre, and requested
the removing of their sign, which
was stigma TO our races not only

tactics beng adopted by other
amusement houses in this city.
But to be tax payers and voters,
and to allow a committee composed
of mere half dozen members to
surrender our rights as citizens to
a prejudiced manager of one play
house is absurd. Negroes every
where are fighting segregation,
and don't let Denver Negroes get
behind the vanguard.
This committee promised this
manager [ learn, to have every
preacher, also our press to warn
Negroes to stay away from his
house, that was what he wanted,
and under those conditions the
sign was taken down.
Very true we have undesirables
in our race the same as. any other
race. but it seems that our entire
race must be maligned for sins
committed by these undesirables,
and it remains for citizens who
are not afraid to combat these
malfactors and notoriety seekers,
surrendering the civil and political
rie hts of our race for the sake of a
few undesirable members. Why
not form a vigilance committee

Denver and ask the management
to make known the traducers of a
race, that's struggling to reach the
