An Open Letter to Whom It May Concern: A Rebuttal to Calumet Club Superior Court's Judgment

Creator

Violette, Maurice

Description

A lengthy open letter concerning the potential effects of Kennebec County Superior Court's ruling against Le Club Calumet, charging it to begin admitting women into the membership ranks of its historically all-male establishment in Augusta, Maine. The letter's primary concern is the court's designation of the Club as a "public accommodation," not a private one, that might potentially be forced to admit any person without regard for ethnicity.
