Colvin Children Stay at Kenilworth School Amid Race Dispute
Kenilworth Citizens' Association and the board of education clash over John Colvin's children attending the Kenilworth public school. The board will not transfer them, asserting the case falls to the board's determination, not the Commissioners. The board reports Colvin claims Indian rather than colored heritage, and notes his children have always attended white schools.
