Youth Congress

The American Youth Congress
was formed IN August, 1884, at
New York University. N. Y. c.
The Youth Congress is an at
tempt to unite the youth of Am
erica on some common problem
for the common good of all. It
does not endorse any political par
ty, creed or group and is non-sec-
tartan in all its activities.
This movement has finally reach
ed the west coast and the young
people are rallying behind its prin-
ciples to insure themselves Of bet
ter understanding between races.
The strength of this organization
was exemplified at the National
Convention in Detroit last year
when Jim Crow hotels we're fore
ed to let down the color bar to col
ored delegates. Two colored dele
gates eating IN near by drug
store We're forced to pay double
for their service. and when this
was reported to the delegates they
Immediately picketted the store
with such fervency that the owner
had to close for the evening.
This plainly shows that the Youth
Congress Of America will not toll
crate unfairness of any sort. It
would be wise for all Negroes to
readily endorse such an organiza-
ton.
