Amid such an environment, the 200
Negro singers were quite unable to
sing international songs, and as in
Robin Hood of old, with one back
step, they departed in a body from

In his dissenting opinion in the Civil
Rights Cases (1875) argued before the
United States Supreme Court during
the late seventies, Mr.. Justice Harlan
said: Property does not become
clothed with a public interest when
used in manner to make it of public
consequence and affect the community
at large. When, therefore, one de-
votes his property to a use in which
the public has an interest, he, in effect
grants to the public an interest in that
use, and must submit to be controlled
by the public for the common good
to the extent Of the interest he has
thus created. He may withdraw his
grant by disseminating the use, but
SO long as he maintains the use, he
must submit to the control"
Despite the judicial overruling OF
the Civil rights cases BY the U. s
Supreme Court, Justice Harlan's the
DRY, above quoted, has been the guild
ing star for numerous states which II
the past decade have thrown a civil
rights protectorate about their Negro
citizens by enacting civil rights bill:
which insure to them the ordinary
privileges visualized by Justice Har.
Ian.
And now comes Little Rhode Island
with a civil rights bill, estopping dis.
elimination in public places, ant
otherwise, against colored people
The bill has passed both houses and
