Colored Waiters and the 15th Amendment Test at New York Hotels
A Coshocton letter recounts a 1896 test of the new hotel hospitality law aimed at enforcing equal service for African Americans. Anderson and associates visit Delmonico’s Waldorf and other spots, report respectful treatment, and note resistance from hotelkeepers fearing constitutional challenges. The piece contrasts these scenes with a Brooklyn murder case and notes a high society marriage linked to Vanderbilt family.
