Delegation of colored men meets White House audience
A Raleigh convention of colored men led by George Prind sent a 30 member delegation to the White House. They pressed for federal offices and equal patronage in North Carolina where they claim 96,000 colored Republican voters receive far less funding than whites. The president explained executive power limits and urged careful recommendations, noting past appointments to show goodwill. The group, returning from Wilmington, pledged to persist in their demands and warned the Republican party they may “melt as snow.”
