Dear Officials.

I am writing to you for a bit of information, which I hope your will give, and, also whatever help and protection you can, to me.

These Southern States have recently divided the state into section of normal school section, the counties of these states have, and each of these county districts have levied a tax on the property of the districts of their school.

This was done by the white voters, the property of all the districts, black and white, no black voting at all.

With this money raised from the taxes are used to build and repair school building for the white. To run bus lines so that a white pupil need not miss one day school during the whole nine month term, matter not how inclement the weather be. But no such are is taken of the black child, it is the same old outer house, all open, without protection from the cold and rain.

There is no changes made for my school and my children since the school has issued taxes or bonts, which has been seven years ago, while all of these years the white children have all the facilities of all the grads of schools running up into the high school, with truck carrying the white children, and there has been no improvement for my children these seven years.

For seven years paying $18.00 per year and $20.00 per year for a thing and don't get it, one began to look around, to see if there no way out of it.

The Negro had nothing to do or say about the $60,000 sixty thousand dollar bond they issued. They issued on my property without my request to secure the bond and now are calling for taxes.

Now what I want to know is there any chance of getting out of paying these taxes. Can I hope for the aid and advice of the N.A.A.C.P. in this case? May I hope for an answer soon from you.

P. S. The Negroes were not allowed to vote on the bond. Nothing has been done to my school house however it is much in need. J.T.R.
