Protest to Jim Carnegee Library Over Colored Girls Training
Neval H. Thomas protested discrimination at the Jim Carnegee Library in Washington DC. He asserts a 40 week free tuition library science course is offered only to white girls, with white women placed in positions while colored girls are excluded. He cites the librarian George Bowerman saying he will not employ colored women in professional roles, citing separate schools as justification, while Thomas argues funding comes from all citizens. The librarian claims no prejudice, recalling Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth.
