Newspaper clipping from the Tulsa Tribune published June 27, 1921 and entitled "Welfare Board Is Criticized By Preachers; Red Cross Representative Joins In Demand For More Action." This article reports on criticism by Tulsa church ministers from the Tulsa Ministerial Alliance directed toward the Reconstruction Committee appointed by Mayor Thaddeus Daniel Evans and the Tulsa County Commissioners. The ministers in the alliance voiced their concern with the Reconstruction Committee's lack of action concerning the rebuilding of the African American community following the Tulsa Race Massacre. The alliance also demanded to have representation on the Reconstruction Committee. The article contains a quote from Red Cross Relief Director Maurice Willows concerning the lack of shelter for refugees for the coming winter months. |
