SEGREGATION IN CHICAGO
(By Aggociated NEGRO Presgl

(By Associated Negro Press).
Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. IA group of
white people styling themselves as
the Grand Boulevard District Ken
wood and Hyde Park Property asso-
citation have set out to find the means
by which they can eliminate all Col
ored people of the district east of
Michigan avenue and south of 35th
street. In these districts there are at
least 10000 Colored people and it in
cludes many of the most prominent
people of Chicago.
In meeting held recently, their
chairman declared publicly that it was
their purpose to help the Colored peo-
pie and not to hinder them, and that
it would be no good for them to har-
angue over their constitutional
rights" and that a way would be
found to keep the members of the
race out of this district The Col
ored people are not excited over the
proposition except in their determina-
ton to concentrate their efforts and
cooperate in the plans of community
uplift, The plan proposed by the as
sociation has not met with popular
favor and several of the daily news
papers, as well as prominent citizens
have denounced the proposition as un-
timely and dangerous to the best in
terests of the community.
