SAME FIGHT LAST YEAITJ
. , Congress Compromised in 1925 '
. -?? And destroyed All Beaches
On Government Property
* ? e ' ' " " "
v The Washington Branch of the Na- ,
tional Association for the Advancement
of Colored People", through its
President, Neal H. Thoxngs, has issued
a statement making clear the "
issues in the fight against a segrega- '
ted" bathing beach in the National Ca-J
pital.
"We are not fighting for segrega
?t.iun, but against it," says the atoto
j ment.. "There are two questions of
_-segregatidrT which we have fought
and are fighting, one against segregation
of any kind,..and the other- a.
gainst, exclusion from the great Amc- _
a, rican driveway and park, a beautiful
and spacious government reservation.
: When the 4>ill was first proposed-m- Congress
we opposed the discrimina~
" tory provision, and when it was passed
we apealed to the White House for a
veto, but the President signed -it with
the 'color' written into the' legislation."
~ "The Fine Arts Commission and
- tho Department?of?Buildings and .
Grounds, both federal institutions,
and 'he white people generally irtlmcliatei;/
began 1 campaign to?locate
the white en the government. reservation
and to exclude the colored
people from it, thus involving a
second fight agairfst segregation, a
fight for our right on public proper;"<y.
"We hnd-i-hi* same fight last, year _
-- -^and <he white people were so insistent
that we should_not have the pri
vl'opc of "this reservation, and the
miluii'il puuple 'fought bo vigourouoly -
for it, that Congress compromised
with us and destroyed all beaches. We
have marie this same proposition
to Congressman Madden again fchia 1
year,, and if-he will champion our
- cause as he did last year, he can deL!-l*
feat -the-nvhole propoaitkmy-saving us >,
from the injury of having 'cqIqilL.
written into legislation and from se
.. gregatiou cf colored people from goveriThtent
property."
