INFORMATION
Excerpt from a letter from Augusta Roberts, National Student Secretary of the YMCA.
“We are very much interested in the possibility of having one of our summer conferences at Black Mountain for many reasons- not the least of which is the interest and cordiality which your students and faculty have shown. We believe from our conference experiences for longer and shorter periods in many parts of North Carolina that the technicality of the state law in regard to toilet facilities is not directly applicable to “closed” or “private” grounds. As a result of a legal consultation which Dr Weatherford had several years ago we have proceeded to invite Negro leadership to Blue Ridge each summer on a completely segregated basis. During the period of the student YM-YWCA conference the Blue Ridge grounds have been closed to hotel guests unrelated to the conference. You will also be interested to know that the Asheville Farm School held a conference last summer on a similar basis.”
