Harmony Restored as Delegates Are seated in District
The district seated its original slate of delegates weeks after selection. One Negro delegate and one alternate sit among four delegates and two alternates, with a district to serve a Negro as candidate delegate at large. Adoption of the Michigan Declaration and civil rights resolution foreshadows a loyalty oath clash seen in 1952. The resolution urges outlawing the poll tax, a federal anti lynching law, disqualification of candidates denied voting rights, federal civil rights commissions, and endorsement of the Supreme Court ruling banning segregation.
