Oklahoma Plans New Jim Crow Law Separate Car Provisions
Oklahoma City December 1. Attorney General Charles West voices support for a new Jim Crow measure granting the state corporation commission power to judge compliance with a separate but equal system for white and Black travelers. West argues the federal constitution does not guarantee Negro seating or sleeping car rights unless travel requires specific conditions. He proposes recourse to the Interstate Commerce Commission or state commission if accommodations are denied. The U S Supreme Court declined to hear the case challenging Oklahoma's law, leaving local courts to rule on separate coaches while debates push to align with the federal constitution. William Harrison, a Black lawyer, argued the suit, with West and Santa Fe defending the law in briefs.
