CABINET 1932-33 Dear Sir:
President
JANE ELIZABETH ROBERTSON We, a group of students at the University of
Vice-President Nebraska, have been greatly shocked at the second
CATHERINE WILLIAMS conviction of Heywood Patterson. Inasmuch as his
Secretary guilt has not been proved, we ask that you will
JANE BOOS grant him a pardon. We further request that you
Treasurer make provision for his future safety, realizing
ELEANOR DIXON that he is in the midst of a prejudiced group
Agricultural Campus that might resort to lynching.
Representative
HELEN HENGSTLER We would request your protection likewise for
Church Relations the other seven boys of the Scottsboro group.
BELLE MARIE HERSHNER
Conference The wrong that may be done these boys if they are
WILLA NORRIS all pronounced guilty, great as it will be, would
Finance be minor in comparison to the wrong dealt to the
EVELYN O'CONNOR cause of justice in American Courts. The State
Freshman Commission of Alabama will hardly wish to have such a blight
LORAINE LOVGREN upon its name. We therefore appeal to you as
Girl Reserve Leadership Governor to do all in your power now and later to
ALICE QUIGLE over come prejudice and see that justice is done.
