“Chicago Whites Urge Race Segregation,”Cleveland Advocate, Nov. 8, 1919Recently, following the public meeting of the Kenwood and Hyde Park White Resident Association,which organization favors residential segregation, an effort was made to get a group of Colored peopleto confer with the committee from that organization. The committee was self-constituted, and washeaded by Attorney J. Gray Lucas. The daily newspapers the following morning carried extensive firstpage articles claiming that the attorney said: “The Colored people are willing to waive theirconstitutional rights and move out of the district in question, providing better homes elsewhere couldbe found.”This created consternation among the people of our group and the following day Attorney Lucasdenied the allegations through the papers and publicly before several organizations.There is a desire among the right-thinking Colored people of Chicago that harmony and peaceprevail, but there is absolutely no disposition on their part to take a single step backward, and themember of the race who has the temerity to suggest anything that savors of un-American principles,lays himself liable to universal contempt and indignation, as was the case of B. F. Moseley, who, in astatement during the riot here, published in the Chiacgo Tribune, said: “This is a white man’s country.”americainclass.org 39
