Bringing Hotels To Higher Standards
The National Association of Hotel men currently meeting in Washington, D. C., sounded a striking key when the challenge to hotels catering to Negro patronage met with such a responsive chord.
Due to the fact that hotels in many points South are catering to Negro trade, it was stated that those hotels exclusively Negro should be brought up to the highest practical standard. Recreation centers, facilities for games and such other conveniences as afforded by hotels in general, were suggested.
For many years there has been a crying need for first class hotel facilities in the South for Negro patrons denied the use of white hotels.
These hostelries should be fitted not only for the taste of Negro patrons but for the general public.
The large hotel chains and other high class hotels would be in competition to these hotels catering to Negro trade exclusively. With such facilities open to the general public, the challenge of being brought up to standard and modern would take care of itself.
The hotel men are making a fine contribution in the area in which they have been custodians for many years.
