Fassett, Treasurer W. H. Crump NATIONAL ASSOCIATION for the Ashby U. Gaskins CHAIRMEN Allie B. Glenn Mrs. Irving Blumberg, Program Wendell C. Jones, Membership ADVANCEMENT of COLORED PEOPLE Herbert Howell R. B. Lynch Rev. R. W. Kelley, Education Mary J. Samples Beulah Mitchell, Youth OP Jonas G. Schwatz Cecil Newman, Finance Clifford Rucker R. A. Skinner, Legal Redress Henry Thomas J. T. Wardlaw, Labor and Industry August llth, 1946 President Harry S. Truman White House Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President: We are writing to protest the lynch killings of four Negroes in Walton County, Georgia on July 25th, and the brutal beating and blinding for life of Isaac Woodard, Jr., on February 12th in Aiken, S. C. As in previous instances, such as in Freeport, L. I. and Columbia, Tenn. these atrocities were carried out by persons in official law enforcement positions. This pattern of official violence is in direct violation of the law as we have it, to say nothing of the democratic principles involved. Our organization, numbering 1300 in the city of Minneapolis, urges you to use your office as chief executive of the United States to see to it that the various governmentel departments do their full duty in these cases. In the Woodard case, it is our unquestioned opinion that the Department of Justice, the War Department, and the Veterans Administratior should take immediate action. In the Georgia lynchings, we urge an immediate and complete investigation by the Justice Department. Only by bringing the perpetrators of these crimes to the bar of justice can we guard against the perversion of human decency, law, and the democratic ideals in the difficult days to come. Again, we urge you to act immediately. Sincerely yours, Minneapolis Branch, naacp Please respond to: albert allew-vr. Irving Blumberg Albert Allen, Jr. Pres. 1224 Russell Ave. No. Minneapolis, 11, Minn. Laura Jackins Laura Gaskins, sec'y
