Oklahoma Legislature urged to build reform school for Negro youths
Oklahoma City January 20 Officials at the state training school at Pauls Valley refused two Wagoner County youths, both Negroes, rooming in a burglary case. An assistant attorney general’s opinion upholds the refusal and calls for a reform school for Negro delinquents, noting no current provision to send underage Black offenders. The piece argues for fair treatment and a dedicated facility for Negro youths in the state.
