Re: Cevil Rights
September 30, 1947.

Dear Mrs. Brevard:
I have your letter of September 15th,
addressed to the President, in which you tell
him of the trouble you are having in finding a
place to live.
Housing is short for everyone and when
discrimination is practiced, it makes it doubly
hard.
The President believes very strongly
in equal rights and opportunities for everyone.
In order to help as many people as possible, he
created a Committee on Civil Rights. I am sending
you a copy of the order creating that Committee,
so that you will know for yourself how he feels.
Cordially,
DAVID K. NILES
Administrative Assistant
to the President
Mrs. Kenneth Brevard,
47 Grace Street,
Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
