Hon. Woodrow Wilson:
President of These U. S.
White House, Wash. D.C.
Honorable Sir:
We, the grievance committee of the New Mexico Protective Association, beg leave to submit the following protest, against the segregation of the federal employes in Wash. D. C. under your administration.
We beg leave to call your attention, to one of your pre-election pledges, namely: "Should I become president of the U.S., they (the colored people) may count on me, for absolute fair dealing; & for everything, by which I would assist, in advancing the interest of their race in the U. S."
We, deeming segregation inimical to the advancement of any race, therefore, pray you, to use the influence of your high office, to have the heads of the various government departments, rescind their orders, or change their policies of segregating the federal employes, at the very seat of the government.
Very respectfully Yours,
Dr. J. Dennis,
Prof. J. O. Scott
Theo. M. Brinson.
