CONTRADICTORY NEGLIGENCE

We sincerely regret the death OF
Mrs. Blanche Charleston of the At
tucks Home, and it may be that other
deaths may follow. We believe it
a lesson to those among us, who
foster race institutions without the
proper safeguards of health. This, in
itself is contributory negligence. A
home supported by petty charities,
cannot afford proper sanitation. Neg
lect of fumigation and isolation is i'm
portant, as there may be an epidemic
at any time. Inmates are brought
from everywhere, old clothing is one
of the greatest germ-carriers and
lives of inmates and visitors are en-
dangered. The death of Mrs. Charles
ton is a sad lesson. If there is to be
a home, (and we protest against such
self-segregated institutions), 1t must
be under proper inspection by the
health authorities, and not menace
to the health of the public. 1t is well
at times to swell with false race pride
and "have a place for our color"
especially where "our color" is denied
the privileges of others, but there rs
no need of any Jim Crow institution
in Minnesota, where our laws per-
nit no discrimination and such a
place should not be tolerated or en-
couraged, unless it afforded equal &C
commodations as our public institu-
tons. The Crispus Attacks Home
was founded by a CRATER and has
been disgrace to the Negroes of this
state. The destitute of our race
would enjoy the privileges of the
charitable institutions were it not fol-
this Home ~. The people of Min
nesota have given enough money to
build a comfortable building, since
the project began. Under the man
agement of its founder, Rev. J. Will
King, who was convicted of stealing
it was a pest-house. We are in
formed that the present manager, Mr.
John Charleston is improving condi-
tons. Mrs. Charleston had worked
hard to interest the people in the home
and had accomplished much. She could
not have taken a greater risk, had she
cast her lot with leper colony. Is the
place for our color" worth its cost!
Is it a fact that those who have main
tanned this menace are responsible for
the death of this estimable woman?
