MCCH Meeting (April 26, 1935)
The questions about this plan included the lawyers on the committee and its relationship to the MCCH. The MCCH members decided to ask Alan Dingle, the president of the Harlem Lawyers' Association, to add two more members to the three already appointed "to have a well-balanced committee." (Without information on the membership, the significance of that decision is unclear.) The meeting was also concerned to maintain control over the information gathered by the committee, deciding they "should be thoroughly advised" that their reports should be sent only to the MCCH and "not issued as a matter of their own opinions of findings." No reports from this group survive in any of the collections of the MCCH records.
At Hays' suggestion, future meetings were moved from Friday to Tuesday, meaning that the next meeting would occur on April 30, not May 3.
