William Boone. director OF the
Ecorse Community Center reported
this week that the building of
homes for Negroes in the vicinity
OF the Fisher homes had caused a
meeting by the tenants and an effort
TO place restrictive covenant in
the way OF the move.
c. J. Laurence. manager of the
John R. Fisher Homes, in reporting
to the River Rouge Ecorse branch
OF the NAACP, expressed the opin-
ion that the racial problem in
Ecorse is an area problem rather
than public housing problem.
However since the John r. Fisher
homes are affected by the general
racial tension in the area, the re-
sponsibility rests to a great degree
on the Detroit Housing commits
sion.
Laurence said further that 1t was
his opinion that the incidents in
the area were indicative of a great
degree OF racial tension. He ad-
vised that definite precautions be
taken TO guard the public safety.
