Luther Keith is president and
founder. a reader OF the Michigan
Chronicle last week cited specific
instances wherein Negro children
had been fatty refused admission
to state supported homes for handi-
capped and dependent.
The reader writes as follows:
Having been employed outstate as
q state worker for the past two and
one-half years, I have not taken
an active part in Race affairs as l
did prior 10 that time, but while an
active member Of the Juvenile AS
ISOLATION, survey was made of the
various Institutions located here,
asking that they house few Negro
children. This request was fatty
refused. We were told in no uncer-
tain terms that such a thing was
unthinkable. Some of the super
visors went so far as to say that
they had never taken Negro chill
dren and had no intention of be-
ginning to do so, but that Negroes
should build something OF their
own

in the House of Correction until a
home is located in which 10 place
them. thus adding to their already
unfortunate background a store Of
knowledge, wholly unbenefcial.

sion to Negro children, follows:
