Elks Drop Whites Only Membership Rule in Chicago
The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks voted to admit blacks to membership for the first time since its 1868 founding. Seattle attorney A Yothers, new grand exalted ruler, cited changing attitudes and Supreme Court action as factors guiding the decision. The vote, 2186 delegates, followed pressure and Maine license revocation developments affecting some lodges.
