Letter to United States Department of Justice with attention to Mr. Tom Clark from Alonso Perales, President for Committee of One Hundred and the League of Loyal Americans. Would like the Department of Justice to begin an investigation as to the motive of those owners of establishments who do discriminate. Alonso Perales requests that the War Department and the Department of Justice inform President Roosevelt of the situations taking place in Texas, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico and to ask Congress to enact a law “forbidding the humiliation of persons of Mexican extraction anywhere in the United States.”
