Resolution Re: Protesting Ban on
Marian Anderson in Washington,
D. c. Sent to the President of the
Daughters of American Revolution,
the President of school board in
Washington, D. c., and the Press.
February %, 1889.
The Daughters of American
Revolution
Washington, D. c.
Dear Madam:
The following resolution was
passed unanimously, February 21,
1899, by the State Board of the
Minnesota Branch of the Women's
International League for Peace
and Freedom:
We have noted with profound
indignation press repots CUP
dated February 20, 1899, that
Marian Anderson, world famous
Negro contralto, has been refused
on account of race, permission to
hold a concert in Constitution Hall
in Washington, D. c., by the local
Daughters of American Revolu-
ton, owners of the building, and in
the Central High School auditorium
by the local school board. If true,
we believe that such action, es-
pecially in our nations capital, re-
fleets on all of US and must bring
deep shame to all true American
citizens loyal to our early tradi-
tionS of tolerance for all and free
dom from persecution on account
of race, religions, or political be-
lief. We join with millions of
others to protest this indignity to
an American citizen regardless of

One of this papers most staunch
supporters will celebrate her 74th
anniversary Saturday, March 4.
Mrs. Willis, a resident of Mime
apois for a number of years, is
one of this papers biggest boost
ers. An inveterate reader, this pio-
neer and far-seeing American is a
keen Bible student and one of the
founders of Beacon Light Seventh
Day Adventist Church. Not only
does Mrs. Willis read the paper
weekly but she patronizes only ad-
vertisers in the paper.
She is the mother of Mrs. Rosa
Wysner and J. w. Pate of Mime
apohs. Her principal hobbies are
sewing and giving Bible readings.
Proud of the progress the Negro
has made in the past 60 years she
believes the future for the colored
people is bright.

Ans: Well brother, there was
only one person who could pos
sibly have gotten your dough and
you know as well as / do who that
one person is. My advice is to put
a paddock on your britches pockets
when you go to bed.
NJ. E. A: Please tell me what is
this 1 have in my stomach. Has
anybody did anything to me?
Ans: No nam but you
should be X-RAYED. Your cOndi-
ton is not one that can be cured

in this town likes me? I get 81
lonesome and discouraged at times
Seems like 1 have no friends anC

as bad as all that. You have many
kind hearted friends. Any one Of
the following people think a whole
lot more of you than you realize
Mrs. D.; o. H.; Mrs. F.; M. M.

things too much to heart. If you
are lonesome get out and do NOR,

Miss Myrtle Garden,
Head, Halle @. Brown House,
$50 Aurora Avenue,
st. Paul, MINI.
Dear Miss Garden:
Having noted the press reports
regarding the denial of the use of
a hall to Marian Anderson in
Washington, D. c., l sent the en-
closed letter to the president of
the Washington Daughters of the
American Revolution and to the
president of the School Board, and
also to the press in Washington as
well as here.
This action is in line with the
policy of the Women's Interna-
tional League for Peace and Free
dom to actively combat the humil-
iation, exploitation and terrorism
long heaped upon Negro citizens in
this country. 1t i'll behooves dem
ocratic America to point the finger
of accusation at Nazi Germany
when such prosecutions exist to-
ward our own largest minority
group.
To you may express, person
ally, my own deepest regret that
such occurrences mar this democ-
racy which we all love and are
striving to mold nearer the ideal.
Very sincerely yours,
MRS. HUGH B. WILCOX,
State President.

Mrs. Hugh Wilcox, State President,

SO So. Tenth St.,

My dear Mrs. Wilcox:
Please accept my deep apprecla-
ton for the stand the Minnesota
Division of the W. l. L. took in the
Marian Anderson-D. A. R. incident
1t is certainly stimulating tc
know that there are people genu,
inely concerned about better race
relations.
More than ever, l believe, it i:
our responsibility to safeguard oul
democracy against a continuation
of this sort of thing; especially a
this time when there is so much
bitterness and hatred in the worlC
today. .
While it is true that the Negr(
feels more forcefully the brunt o.
this attitude at the present time
yet, we must keep in mind, as
am sure you have, that it will b,
