President Roosevelt is considering appointing a committee to study the “entire problem of race in this country.” Roosevelt is concerned with making sure the men who are appointed to this committee are men of high moral character who reflect a diversity in regions and characteristics, and he asserts that they must also be transparent and act in good faith while on this committee. Roosevelt wants the condition of African Americans in northern locales to be studied exactly as they are in the South.
