Tenants of Harlem Protest Rent Slavery
Tens of thousands of Negro workers cheered the parade of tenants last Saturday afternoon in Harlem. Under the leadership of the Harlem Tenants’ League, the paraders demanded an end to the system of rent robbery, wholesome houses for workers, no segregation and discrimination against Negro tenants, no evictions, the erection of houses for the workers by the state to be rented without profit and adequate free housing for unemployed. A protest meeting followed the parade at Brooks Sq.
