Protest Against Sunday-School Discrimination
The colored ministers of Washington, D. C., have sent out a protest in the form of an open letter to the delegates of the sixth World's Sunday-school Convention held at Washington, May 19-24, 1910. The reason for this is that the delegates to the convention in the District of Columbia seem to have discriminated against the colored people. They bring no charge against the delegates at large, who they say have treated them courteously. They contend that their own Sunday-school delegates are just as truly members and in precisely the same manner as the delegates of the white Sunday-school Association of the District of Columbia, and they send out this letter that the Sunday-school people of the world may understand their position, and to let them know that they stand upon evangelical ground. The special point raised was not against the World's Convention delegates, but the arrangements preliminary to that made by the white delegates in Washington. Surely it would seem as tho they should have been given a part in the reception of the World Convention.
