Mrs. Vaughn Blasts School Board

Drive

Calls for Action In Self-Respect
Drive
Replying in scorching words to
the insulting statement of School
Trustee Henry C. Karwowski to
the effect that all Negroes now
employed by the Board of Educa-
ton and other public jobs should
be fired, Mrs. Sarah Vaughn took
the lead in the fight for school
representation. Her report last
year, as to the Negroes status in
the school system of Hamtramck,
caused much public interest.
Said Mrs. Vaughn, Tuesday: 81
wonde what Mr.. Karwowski
think the colored citizens of this
community are, that he can make
such statements in regard to them
and get away with it. Mr.. Kar-
wowski says that the colored vot-
ers failed to support him in his
candidacy for the city council in
the last election. say to him,
why should they? Has he not been
a member of the school board for
the past six years, without making
any effort to aid in the placing of
colored boys and girls who are
graduating from high school. He
has not even attempted to place
one or even a mere janitor in the
high school.
Continuing, Mrs. Vaughn said:
as it not logical that we should
judge a man on his record in the
past? If this be so, the colored
citizens of Hamtramck have acted
wisely in not voting for Mr.. Kar-
wowski. This is but one of the
reasons why colored citizens should
join the "Self-respect" drive now
under way in Hamtramck, and
GUST such school trustees who have
no respect for members of our
race; and elect our own or those
who do respect u.s."

Mayor Rudolph G. Tenero-

colored citizens of Hamtramck,
who aided in electing him to
the mayors chair. To date,
the Mayor lacks only two col

to thank Mayor Tenerowicz
for keeping his promise thus
