President Roosevelt likes Florida Governor Broward’s letter. He is glad that the current Supreme Court will back up Broward, and has sent their correspondence to The Outlook to be published to call attention to the action of the court. Roosevelt believes that the only way to help people of color in the South is for the right-thinking white people in the South to make change, and that outsiders can only do good by backing up those sorts of actions.
