left Washington in 1950. a Negro
could not find a room tn a good
Washington hotel. He would not
be served in a restaurant patron
ised by whites He could not buy a
ticket to a movie theatre. About
the only concession of equity In
public facilities was that the Ne-
gro was not set apart in Jim crow
fashion in buses and street cars.
"The other night in the Statler
hotel, I watched Archie Moore, the
Negro light heavyweight, being
Interviewed over television Next
morning when I came down on the
elevator. Archie M«x>re waa one of
the passengers With him waa a
retinue of a half dogen young Ne
gro men. They had occupied rooms
down the hall from mine As a
matter of fact, they had had a
party.
"At the table next to mine In
the Statler coffee shop, a Negro
couple was served breakfast. No

ing people and behaved as such.
"Shortly after the war. the Na
tional theatre. Washington's only
adequate place for presentation at
legitimate drama, was turned into
a movie house because the Actor's
Equility league threatened to
boycott it unless Negroes were al
lowed to attend.
"The owners took the position
that it was their theater and if
they wanted nobody but white
folks to sit in it, that was their
business and nobody aide's. The
National advertises itself as
"America's First Theatre.”
"Some of the Impetus for this
new racial freedom was provided
by the Supreme court decision out
lawing segregation in the schools.
But much of it is a carry-over
from the determined battle which
President Truman carried on for
civil rights.”
