Roosevelt cancels White House picnic for district children
Washington August 8 President Roosevelt withdrew an order opening the White House grounds to five hundred poor children from the District of Columbia after discovering the planned picnic would exclude colored children. The Women's Rescue League had organized the event with donors providing ice cream and food for the outing. A letter from a local Black resident urged ending the discriminatory plan, prompting Colonel Symonds to cancel the previous approval and relocate the picnic to a park.
