Declares Residential Segregation Vio-
Iates U. S. Constitution

Speaking at last nights friday
mass meeting, in the Union Baptist
Church, 10Th and Fitzwater streets, Of
the National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People, now
holding its Fifteenth Annual Confer
ence in Philadelphia, James a. Cobb,
former Assistant U. S. Attorney for
the District Of Columbia, declared that
residential segregation of colored peo-
pie was a violation Of the federal CON
stitution.
Mr.. Cobb said in part:
Several years ago there sprung up
a veritable epidemic Of city ordinances
passed to accomplish the purpose Of
racial discrimination and segregation
in the matter of occupancy Of homes.
Atlanta, Ga, Louisville, KY, Rich
mond, Va, Baltimore, Md, and RAJ
leigh, N. G., may Be mentioned as
typical of the cities which attempted
to pass such laws. So fragrant was
this attempt to defeat the constitution
al rights Of citizens that the Courts
even Of some of the Southern States
put themselves on record as definitely
opposed such legislation.
Mr.. Justice Day, delivering the Opin-
ion Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, in the well-considered
case Of Buchanan vs.. Marley known
as The Louisville Segregation case),
said in part: That there exists seri-
Gus and difficult problem, arising from
a feeling Of race hostility which the
law is powerless to control, and to
which it must give a measure Of con-
sideration may Be freely admitted. But
its solution cannot be promoted by
depriving citizens Of their constitution
al rights and privileges. And further
on in the same opinion, he said: We
think this attempt to prevent the alien
alton Of the property in question to
a person Of color was not legitimate
exercise Of the police power Of the
State, and is in direct violation Of the
fundamental law enacted IN the 18th
Amendment Of the Constitution, pre-
venting state interference with prop
erty rights except by the due process
Of law
Certainly this would appear to be
the last word on this question Of seq
regation housing. But now the indi-
viduai fat Of a group Of people, en-
tering into a mutual covenant not to
dispose Of their land to people Of the
Negro race Or descent, is chosen as a
means Of doing what the Constitution
Of the United States. and the interpre-
tation BY the Supreme Court Of the
United States. has indicated definitely
cannot legally Be done.
nIf the Constitution does not protect
the rights Of ali citizens, II does not
protect the rights Of any, since it,
knows no distinction Of race Or color"
